    Speaking of Pat Bertoletti, I accidentally found a pic online of him, Joey Chestnut, and Tim “Eater X” Janus doing a non-IFOCE eating challenge back in 2006:

    Were MLE eaters allowed to do outside contest back then?

    Eating challenges were banned bye the IFOCE contract in 2007

    Thanks for the note OJ. BTW, looking back at that pic form 2006, it’s funny to see Pat without his trademark mohawk and Tim without his face paint. I almost didn’t recognize either of them. Joey looks more or less the same as now.
