    it takes true still knowing what “just enough to win” is throughout the whole contest. and joey has pretty much got it down to a science.

    Funny how when anyone is even marginally close to Kobi in a contest he is losing his ability, but when Chestmutt wins in a close one he is a skilled veteran at just eating enough to win. Kobi is God to Competitive eating and the billions who know him as “King”.

    10:04 (Sep 23), that is the silliest thing I ever heard. I was born in the morning, but not yesterday morning.

    According to the database, IFOCE/MLE has never held a bacon eating contest. They did allow Erik Denmark to do a bacon record attempt in 2009.

    A fair point, OJ and thanks for pointing that out. It’s obviously a plug for the Wild Eggs do on Saturday but like most MLE press releases it made us laugh so we ran it. Will include your comment in an update shortly. Love your website, by the way.

    Updated with OJ’s comments here: http://www.therakeandherald.tv/society/societystory.php?id=176

    Hope that’s OK with you, OJ.

    Otherwise, we’ll update the update.
