Kobayashi out for “Ham & Eggs”
Yahoo.com has a press release promoting the “Ham & Eggs” contest that will be televised on Spike TV during the halftime of the Super Bowl. The announcement verifies Kobayashi’s report that he was unable to participate in the contest:
As soon as the first half of football’s biggest game ends, Spike TV will cut directly into “MLE Chowdown: Ham N’ Eggs” with the under-card event of hard-boiled egg consumption. Eight of the top eaters will go egg-for-egg in an effort to break the world record held by Sonya Thomas of 65. Then, the world’s top eight eaters will step to the plate for whole spiral-ham eating. This eight-minute competition includes Joey Chestnut, Patrick Bertoletti, Tim “Eater X” Janus, Juliet Lee, Tim “Gravy” Brown, Rich LeFevre, and Juris Shibamaya. The legendary Kobayashi will not participate due to an injured jaw.
Sonya Thomas achieved her egg record in 6:40 so the egg competitors will have to beat that time to break her record.
Kobayashi, Sonya, Bob Shoudt, Chip Simpson and several non-IFOCE eaters would probably dispute the claim that the world’s top eight eaters will participate in the ham contest.
The blurb at the bottom reports there were 100 MLE events in 2006 instead of mentioning the number last year.

The IFOCE doesn’t care about Sonya’s time. All the eaters who eat more than 65 eggs will get credit for breaking her record and the eater who wins the event will have the new egg record, because they only take care of the eaters who have benefitted them as of late.
So what... said

Everyone knows Pats wins the competition! There is no way he let Joey win after beating his ass in the first two rounds!!! Besides, just like Rhonda always says, Joey only accels in breaded foods. Its a done deal!!!

Yeah, no way Joey wins a non dunking food! Or a non breaded food! This will be an easy win for Pat. Hell, I can’t imagine Joey finishing above anyone in Ham and Eggs. Everyone knows he’s only good at the sandwich type foods, as Rhonda says. There’s absolutely no way he could pull this off.
