    I believe it isn’t an eating competition, but rather an attempt to break a Guiness World Record of BUILDING the World’s Longest Taco.

    Is this a IFOCE contest or something seperate. Sounds like it could be potentially cool if it works out.

    Surprise, surprise. The same two New Yorkers given the opportunity to shine at an eating demonstration. Good to see Pete participating, but was anybody else who dedicates themself to the IFOCE asked? Butiful Brian? Nasty Nathan? Wild Bill? Of course NOT!

    Actually, it’s not an IFOCE event. It’s three friends trying to break a Guiness World Record. The eating part of the taco isn’t going to be recognized by Guiness. It would just be wasteful not to eat the 36′ of taco…it’s not timed, nor competitive.

    anony aware you wanna bet on that especially if its NY magazine Crazy Legs and Janus always ask permission from the IFOCE before they take part in any demonstration which has to to with eating. If it is not a direct IFOCE production then the shea are getting some type of cut in the action . Three friends my ass

    As long as they don’t hyoe the fact they are Comp. Eaters, then what does the IFOCE have to do with it?

    It’s sad when you have to get permission to eat a taco.

    anony 11:34, if the publicity entails eating, and the names mentioned are visible in NY magazine, the IFOCE will have something to do with it
