Renee Castro and Kate Bailey saw Joey Chestnut at a company (probably Maxim Integrated) picnic in San Jose today, where he reported ate 37 ribs in two minutes in an eating contest. (picture)

    Oh please. It’s a company picnic, therefore a private event. That’s like saying I’m not allowed to eat in a contest against family at a birthday party. Get over it.

    mle has spent considerable time and money building the brand. The contract is in force to protect the eaters and mle. By participating in unsanctioned events you use the brand that mle has built for your advantage with no compensation to mle. With that being said no eater under contract can participate in any eating contest, eating challenge, or exibition without prior approval . This includes but is not limited to pie eating contests with the family during the holidays, beer chugging with friends, posting anything food reloaded on you tube. As a matter of fact we the principles here at mle would like prior approval sought before any eaters under contract eat or consume anything at all, this is only for low ranking eaters that will spend thier own money to fill the tables and we at mle can rule and make a useless exaample of. We will enforce this at our own descression unless you are a top eater, or we just dont give a crap at the time.

    I think it is unfair to eat anything, at any time, unless you have a representative of M.L.E. present.

    Anon 5:36 – needs to learn that the Shea’s can’t control work and family unless the work is for them. Stop twitteling your thumbs and practice. Then you could get in the top rankings instead of just in the top 20.
