Grace Lee will judge a meatball eating contest in Lynchburg, VA on Friday. (Grace's twitter bio still lists her as an undefeated eating champion.)

    I just got done vacuuming and low and behold, when I pulled up the rug, I ran across what I thought was Ms Lee’s morals.

    I’m just joking, of course, but I don’t know how she could even show her face, as pretty as it may be, conveying that she’s undefeated.

    Of course, it takes all kinds.

    Angeline, you don’t get it. With your logic, why doesn’t Joey and Sonya go out and judge a Hebrew National hot dog eating contest? Because of product loyality to Nathan’s. Without that, competitive eating would never survive as a business related sport Actually, people like Grace Lee and Kobi are kind of selfish. Going for the short term payout and not looking at the big picture. Because in the end if no one is loyal to product, sponsorships dry up and no one gets paid, not eaters nor MLE type organizations. Kobi’s learning that with hotdogs and pizza for example. Nathan’s wants nothing to do with him. Pizza Hut won’t touch him. His name association with a product mean’s nothing with major food labels because there is nothing to stop him from the next day going to another product that throws more money in his direction. Lee’s name association with any product is tarnished after her Nathan’s shennigans. Also, continuing to sell herself falsly as undefeated shows a lack of honesty. Who wants that as a spokesperson for anything.

    Oh, and one more thing Angeline. Grace Lee’s going to be the JUDGE of this meatball eating contest? JUDGE … really? Did they see her performance at Nathan’s. They’re still finding half eaten hotdogs stuffed under her plate. Angeline if you trust Grace Lee to judge anything, let me give the name of a great investment consultant — his name is Bernie Madoff. With Grace Lee as a judge of this meatball eating contest, I predict the streets of Lynchburg to run red with spagehetti sauce and half eaten meatballs. The horror … the horror!

    Unbeleevable uses a key word to describe Kobi “selfish” He cares about nobody but himself. Ok once in blue moon he will congratulate another competitive eater for a job well done as a token gesture, but it is all about him making money for himself.

    What kind of crap is this” undefeated eating champ. Grace Lee has Dale Boone written all over her. Is she for real? MLE gave her an opportunity to take the stage at Nathans after eating a putrid 12 questionable hot dogs and buns and thats how she repays them by calling herself an undefeated champion? Sounds like stealth marketing to me.

    Thanks Larell! Your posts are some of the few pleasures I get from this blog.

    I really wish Grace weren’t that way. I WANT to like and have respect for her. I wish I could just chalk her behavior/Web posts up to marketing, but I’ve run out of valid reasons to.

    So my next best rationalization for her is that she has a flawed sense of reality, and she cannot help being like she is. But even that logic is suspect at best.

    Atlanta water makes us all crazy.

    Grace used MLE to get her name and face out there. And? She is a great lady but she does not care about CE long term or any codes that pertain to it. I would give her an F on sportsmanship but an A+ for marketing and being plain smart about it all. She sold herself to the market and they are buying. Also Dale is an asshole who starts crap with everyone and everything, she has never talked badly about MLE or a sponsor or an eater. SHe questioned MLE that is all.

    Wow, Nun, you’re a really seem to be accepting of some pretty bad behavior. Cheating, dishonesty, and she’s done more than questioned the MLE. She would have people believe that she has defeated Sonya, Juliet, Stephanie, Laurell Marie, etc. through her claims of being undefeated. I think her “undefeated” implications against other eaters is in reality talking “crap” about other competitors at Nathan’s. And, you know what, I used to think she was a clever marketer but I question that now too. If she was really smart, she would just claim to be a Nathan’s qualifier and honestly use the notoriety of the fact that she’s competed on one of the largest competitive eating stages in the world. Yet, she continually feels the need to embelish her resume by false claims of never being beaten and allowing people, not in the know (dumbass morning radio stations), to believe that maybe she really did win at Nathan’s or come in a place she didn’t deserve. What’s more, seeing that she’s now judging a small time competition in Lynchburg, VA, leads me to believe that more people in the GA area have caught onto her scam. A far cry from being the belle of eatery promotions at high end Atlanta eating places.

    Unbeleevable is very believable . Fantastic is more like it. With his or her brilliant writing techniques i would have to say unbeelev is either Sonya or Tim Janus

    nun apparantly Grace doesnt understand the seriousness of this sport. When you claim to consume 24 hot dogs when you did not and have the nerve to call yourself an undefeated champ and then go on a radio show and say”why are they making such a big deal over this?” well then maybe she doesnt realize the nature of this business and how serious some of the die hard fans take it when you casually boast about fabricated totals. Sounds very much like Brad Sciullo when Bob Shoudt kicked his butt in some past contest with MLE and Brad came over to him and said “I beat you” then walked away. Real class act

    I want to be the first one to pat Grace Lee on the back. She finally removed the “undefeated” description of her on her Twitter bio. I’m sorry I was so tough on her, but with the talent she apparently has in so many areas she seemed to be wasting it on less than up front behavior. It takes a big person to admit when you are wrong and by her doing this shows a lot of potential. I hope this leads her to a more honest and successful path in competitive eating, promotions, or whatever she chooses to undertake. Maybe some of the comments here on EATFEATS had something to do with her in seeing the light. Yet, for whatever the reason for the change, good luck young lady.

    There goes the women’s division. It will not happen next year. It’s like having Pat against Joey. Over before it starts.
