There’s bigger news out there. Stan Van Gorden is the future of competitive eating. Dude quit his job to do food challenges.

^^yikes, he actually had a reversal of fortune during the contest? When was the last time that happened at a qualifier??
Will be tough for him to get an invite back to any MLE contests, I imagine…

Cincinnati Hot Dog Qualifier was a blast to watch! Darrien and Adrian kept trading off front runner the whole ten minutes, real close neck and neck finish for sure! Also fun to watch was the guy at the end of the table who ate 14 hot dogs, Dominic Mandato. He started out of the gate the fastest and was keeping pace with them for the first few minutes then hit a wall for sure. Would be cool to see him back in a year with more training under his belt.
