    Some people especially haters of Brian Seiken or just haters in general should conduct their lives the way Brian Dudsinski and Jamie conduct theirs. Never a bad word about anyone . Just go about their business putting up solid numbers.

    They must model their life around Brian Seikens: Never a bad word about anyone and solid numbers all around.

    I’ve searched Google for Dale eating 72 pancakes and found nothing. So a) It didnt happen and b) If it did happen I’d bet my life on them being silver dollar pancakes.

    Dale Boone doesn’t believe in ravioli. He stuffs a live turtle with beef and smothers it in pig’s blood.
    Dale Boone doesn’t chew gum. Dale Boone chews tin foil.

    Dale Boone doesn’t own a can opener, he just chews through the can.
    Dale Boone doesn’t throw up if he drinks too much. Dale Boone throws down!

    Dale Boone drinks napalm to quell his heartburn.
    Dale Boone eats beef jerky and craps gunpowder. Then, he uses that gunpowder to make a bullet, which he uses to kill a cow and make more beef jerky. Some people refer to this as the “Circle of Life.”

    To clarify the record issue, as stated in the headline of the R&H aticle, the record being claimed is the IHOP pancake eating record.

    According to IHOP, 67 IHOP pancakes in 46 minutes is a new IHOP pancake eating record.

    The record being claimed does not pertain to any other types of pancakes other than IHOP pancakes.

    Were the pancakes eaten by Dale Boone IHOP pancakes?

    Ignatius, frankly I would just ignore the jumpupons here. The reason is pretty simple. Competitive eating is not the NBA or any other sport whose records are “fixed” for many reasons. Journalistic accuracy is almost impossible to come by. Boone says this, one says that, etc. And frankly, eatfeats itself cannot be fully accurate either. Why? For some of the same reasons that you cannot be fully journalistically accurate. Record keeping within the organizations and contests is not complete or accurate. So if IHop says that such and such is a record, it IS. If an eater or organization thinks it is not, take it up with IHop.

    Just keep writing PLEASE!!. I/we LOVE your writing and you are a great addition to the sport. The master statistician behind this website, whoever he or she is, (you did know that no one really knows the identity of said person) is seemingly unconnected to any organization. It seems that he likes to even call out claims by showing his stats which is all great except that frankly again, CE is PR and entertainment and product sponsorship. So perhaps of late his point is exactly that……..I do not know what (assume it is a he) at core he or she intends but more and more it seems that it is about “accuracy” which is never going to happen in CE. Again, this is not the Olympics nor is this the UN though there are certain multiple opinions. They are, however, expressed in less than diplomatic fashion.

    Boone is great at one thing – CHEATING

  13. cheating goes way back said

    April 14, 2013 @ 12:02 pm

    Boone cheating goes as far back as Sept 2003 when he competed in a Russian Pelmeni contest in NYC . An outdoor event in Bryant Park . Boone was attempting to defend his title he won a year earlier. In the final qualifying heat in which he lost, George Shea demanded that Boone open his clenched fist which produced 10 uneaten squished dumplings

    Pancakes are the best breakfast food eat feat period! I did just one back in Milwaukee WI and that had me hooked since. 32 in 8 minutes for 2nd place. OPH location that had just opened at the time. Mind you its their smaller buttermilk cakes, not plate sized cakes.

    Cgwb, his cheating goes back to at least. A yr before. George Shea made the mistake of asking the competitors how many they ate. No judges. Boone “invented” a plate of 50.

    I was at the event yesterday AM. Jamie got through the first 30 in @ 22 minutes..then slowed down. His intent was to do 70 as he had 14 plates of 5 pancakes apiece layed out. But you could see the strain through the last 5 or so. Here’s some pics.

    Hello 8:59

    Thanks very much for your comments. I fully agree with you.

    Records require a degree of standardisation that in terms of food is largely limited to weight and volume. 10 lb of pancakes is 10 lb of pancakes whoever makes them. However, it is very unlikely that 50 pancakes made by one person/company will be exactly the same as 50 made by someone else. Size, ingredients, moisture, sweetness, you name it, there will be simply shedloads of variables.

    Then there is the international perspective. US pancakes are nothing like UK pancakes, for instance. US ones are more like UK pyklets (or however they’re spelt) while UK pancakes are more like French crepes, viz much thinner, and we don’t eat them for breakfast. In fact, we rarely eat them at all except on Pancake Day (Mardi Gras). You won’t see them in any restaurants unless its a US-themed restaurant.

    So coming back to the IHOP question, yes if IHOP say it’s an IHOP record, ie a record for the number of IHOP pancakes eaten (and only pancakes produced by IHOP to an IHOP standard), it’s an IHOP record. It doesn’t mean it’s (and was never claimed to be) a blanket world record for all types of pancakes everywhere, a distinction which I think Competitive Eating Fan was confusing.

    Anyway, respect to both Jamie McDonald and Dale Boone. Whoever ate the most, both feats are bloody amazing.

    Boone is just pissed because he has no legitimate claim to any records. Jamie will crush him.

    Dale Boone was to compete at the Brightleaf Hot Dog Eating Contest held in Durham, NC at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Dale was adamant that he didn’t want Jamie McDonald competing there. Jamie was a late addition on the day of the event. Dale was pissed. The contest was to be held after the baseball game. Around the 7th inning, Jamie decided he had stewed on it enough, and he was leaving. He informed Durham Bulls officials, and he left. HE QUIT! He didn’t want to compete against Jamie McDonald.

    I know because I was there as a competitor. I was in contact with Brightleaf and Durham Bulls representatives. I finished second to Jamie. That man can eat!

    Boone was lied to by the Bright Leaf people who don’t know their asses from their elbows. Can you say clusterf*ck? There was another contest the next day. Why compete for 2nd when there is no 2nd place prize? Mr Sims reporting isn’t inaccurate, his conclusion is.
