More “Wedges & Wings” previews
The Naughty American has an article (contains spoilers) previewing the “Wedges & Wings” contest in which Joey Chestnut and Pat Bertoletti discuss female fans and cheating techniques.
Bertoletti claims that, while the competitions are closely monitored by the International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) to prevent this sort of thing, there are ways to get around it.
“The dishonest people will push the rules a little bit. If it’s not stated in the rules, people will do it,” he said.
While the issue of cheating with drug use is a major problem with other sports, the IFOCE does not currently conduct drug testing on competitors.
“As far as drugs that would give me an edge, I haven’t found any yet,” Chestnut says. “But I’m trying.”
The Cleveland Free Times has a brief article about Chris “the Mad Greek” Abatsas’ participation in the wedges contest.
The Las Vegas Review Journal has pictures (captions contain spoilers) from the potato wedges contest.
Juliet Lee has a trip report.
