The total prize money is only $1,500 according to the IFOCE web site, so why do the best eaters even show up?

It isn’t about the money, remember. A title always sounds good anyway, especially when you don’t have to travel tooooo far.

It looks like Pat one. The IFOCE usually tries to protect the champion from bad news.

Rich Lefevre – the ageless wonder, still beating the crap out of most everyone. No wonder we’re gonzo over this gyoza gobbler.
