    “He embarked on his career in 2000 when he was an economics student, after discovering a knack for conquering restaurant food challenges.”

    Oh, the sad irony.

    Koby’s the greatest. After 6 years of total domination in the sport, pseudosport, sports entertainment, or whatever you want to call it, of competitive eating, he is by far and away the most popular, recognizable competitive eater who ever lived. And Sonya Thomas is far and away the most recognizable female competitive eater.

    They are both gentle persons, charismatic, and the staunchest of competitors. Other competitive eaters have been “great,” but Koby and Sonya’s greatness merits a bold faced font with an exclamation point!. I feel very, very lucky to be on this earth during the same era as those two.

    Even if other eaters come along who dominate more than they do (as hard to imagine as that may be) for their respective genders, they were / will always be the first.

    Good Grief Charlie Brown Anonys who think I could possibly be either OJ or Rhonda. There are a gazillion reasons that I could not be either. That being said, I agree with everything Rhonda wrote in the above comment. I post rarely and will be in Japan for more than three months beginning in early October. Sayonara and Eat All You Can.

    Oh Wild Bill, I just had to put down my calligraphy brush to reassure you and all of My Meatsweats. I can cheer you on in Japanese and frequent internet cafes replete with all kinds of green tea and goodies in order to keep current. Ganbatte kudasai!

    Crazy Mom,

    From reading Rhonda’s posting in regards to you being her, I now know that “She” isn’t you.

    It wasn’t the swearing that proved to me it wasn’t you.

    Maybe, i’ll see you in Japan.
