JaNugget has a press release about the 2007 Rib Cookoff:
Returning to this year’s Cook-off, the International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE), the governing body of all stomach-centric sports, will host the second Best in the West Nugget World Rib Eating Championships on Wednesday, August 29. The country’s best competitive eaters will vie for $5,000 and the title of World Champion. The IFOCE conducts more than 90 events annually, including the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, NY. It’s estimated the top competitors will consume eight to nine pounds of meat during the 12-minute competition. Last year’s winner, prolific gurgitator Joey Chestnut, is expected to attend, along with more than one dozen other top-flight athletes. The rib eating contest will take place in front of the main stage starting around 5 p.m.
IFOCE.com reports that the Lewisville, TX tamale contest will be held on September 1. Registration opens tomorrow at noon eastern.
