“Furious” Pete announces Stay Hungry book
“Furious” Pete Czerwinksi announces Stay Hungry, a book that will be available on November 30 with the following description:
Stay Hungry follows Furious Pete on his journey from extreme childhood anorexia to a successful career as a competitive eater and YouTube celebrity. You’ll get a first hand look at the gluttony, manipulation, and hilarious antics of the competitive eating world. And, hopefully, you’ll learn a few life lessons along the way
I think Pete is the third competitive eater to have written a book after Natsuko “Gal” Sone and Indonesian Mariska Tracy.

I know of at least three books dedicated to competitive eating written by non-competitive eaters:
_Eat This Book: A Year of Gorging and Glory on the Competitive Eating Circuit_ by Ryan Nerz
_Horsemen of the Esophagus: Competitive Eating and the Big Fat American Dream_ (aka _Insatiable: Competitive Eating and the Big Fat American Dream_) by Jason Fagone
eBook only: _Greatest Competitive Eaters of All Time: Top 100_ (aka _100 of the Top Competitive Eaters of All Time_ by Alex Trost and Vadim Kravetsky
Plus _Think Like a Freak_ by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner has a few pages about Kobayashi.

That’s an interesting top 100. Bob Shoudt (#86) finished ahead of Bill Myers (#49) in all 43 of their matchups in the database.

Good call OJ! They also have Molly and Miki ranked way too low.
And this statement by the authors left me scratching my head:
“It is thorough look at accuracy and foundation before the book was even started.”

looks like they might have listed it in terms of contests competed in?

If you look at other “books” by these people, it looks like they just randomly make lists.

Nicknames of competitive eaters, especially those with more than one:
Tom “Goose” Gilbert or Tom “Vanilla Child” Gilbert
Ronnie “MegaByte” Hartman or Ronnie “the Real American” Hartman
Ken “the Evolution” Douglas or Ken “ADHD” Douglas
Maria “the Incredible Sulk” or Maria “Edible”
Competitive eaters with no nicknames
Competitive eating jargon: reversal, in the money, Elvis has left the building, no returns, urges contrary to swallowing, gurgitator, esophoscenti, Roman incident, capacity, picnic method, dunking, Japanesing, Julietting, the Kobi Shake, the Carlene Pop, the Stonie Wiggle, win

I got something to say about that elvis has left the building shit. How many fuckin times is George Shea going to repeat the same shit over and over again, ” I think i felt chest pains” He shouldnt poke fun about shit like that because heart attacks are no joke and it could really happen to him or anyone else on stage. Also that same teenage wasteland song by the Who gotta go as well. Its played out. And last but not least “He remembers what he ate for breakfast march 8 1985” Its not funny its more like repetitive and stupid. Now i can understand why Shoudt left the IFOCE . They never played this song by during his intro Shoudt Shoudt let it all out these are the things we can do without . How come you never thought of that one George?

Maria Edible or Sulkin left the IFOCE after Gavonne showed up at Citifield insulting her from the crowd calling Seiken a child molester George Shea a crook, and various other insults that made no sense whatsoever . She must have realize comp eating is full of weirdos like Seiken Gavonne Boone and a host of others so who needs the aggravation after coming off a successful modeling career
