WBUR has a podcast of an interview with Crazy Legs Conti, who claims that the fatality at the Custer, SD hot dog contest could have been prevented with onsite medical personel (Custer County EMTs were present at the event site according to the contest sponsor.) Conti is billed as the world record holder in string beans, pancakes, bacon, beef brisket and Twinkies; for those five foods, MLE records page only lists him as the holder for green beans, Pat Bertoletti, Erik Denmark, Bob Shoudt and Joey Chestnut have the other four records.

    He is the record holder of nothing. Eating skills have always been average at best.

    FYI, OJ: The pancakes and bacon record is a combined record known as the Lumberjack Breakfast. So while he doesn’t have the individual records for either pancakes or bacon, he does have the record for eating them together.

    He is the reason why Bob Shoudt is no longer interested in competing anymore. After the fix was in at the corn contest can you blame him?
