Joey Chestnut at Bite of Oregon August 7
The facebook for the Bite of Oregon reports that Joey Chestnut will compete in a mini eating contest in Portland on Saturday, August 7. Contest signup will take place at the Bite of Oregon on August 6.
The Bite of Oregon is listed in the calendar on the Pepto Bismol facebook fan page along with the Austin Ice Cream Festival, The San Francisco Street Food Festival and the Buffalo Wing Festival. (No mention of an eating contest appears on the Street Food Festival’s website.)

Hmmm. Looks like IFOCE isn’t hurting. Reinvented thanks to Pepto Bismol and Facebook. Fewer opportunities for “professional ” eaters though.

but why no mention on the IFOCE site? This is their top dog shouldn’t they least acknowledge his participation in these events?
