    No prob. The mayor of New York is cool with an eating competitor having called a bomb threat on the anniversary of 911.

    Yet another example of how women continue to take back seats to men. Will it ever change?

    “Okay what’s really creepy is just how much Leferves and Seiken are fighting over a 20 something girl –ick”

    Is Brian Seiken married? Or for that matter, are any competitive eaters married, other than the LeFevres?

    “Yet another example of how women continue to take back seats to men. Will it ever change?”

    Agreed. And, the women’s competition will actually be much more competitive than the men’s.

    “No prob. The mayor of New York is cool with an eating competitor having called a bomb threat on the anniversary of 911.”

    She’s paid her price. How long will this continue to haunt her? It shouldn’t, as far as I’m concerned.

    Gourmand, yeah you complain that women don’t get the cred that men get yet it was Sonya and Juliet that actually created a separate contest for women. Not once has miki even rocognized that fact that miki would’nt have tried to salvage her disapointing beginning into adulthood (arrested for terrorism) without Sonya And Juliet’s hard work. One nod would be appreciated and if you ask me make miki look good. But it recognizes miki’s inability to think of anyone but herself. It’s probably related to the fact that Sonya and Juliet kicked his her creepy mentors ass — rich Leferve so many times. Also your point about Miki having paid her price for calling in a bomb threat for 911. Are you serious? go visit ground zero and tell me a year of in house arrest was an appropriate response. She’s lucky she did’nt get sent to prison. And, if I was politician like the mayor of New York i wouldn’t be seen within 1000 miles of her. Which might cause bad problems for future woman’s contests at Nathan’s. but apparently miki couldn’t give a shit about future or past eaters except herself — keep flashing your money babe — just having fun.

    June 13, 2014 @ 11:53 pm

    Oh and one more note about Miki’s mentor 80 year old Rich Leferve. He’s the guy who went and ate at every non Nathan’s hot dog eating events after he “retired” in a desperate attempt to gain glory and give those sham events some degree of credibility. He lost and the coward he is setting up his wife to eat again at Nathan’s so he can get a free trip to New York and watch his 20 something girlfriend Miki beat Juliet and Sonya. Any eater that got banned from MLE for doing non MLE events should sue or ask to be compensated. In fact I think Carlene attended all those non Nathan’s events. Video is a bitch.

    Totally agree with opinion on Sudo and Lefevre . Although i wont get into the ramifications of 911 because its a touchy subject not worth of my opinion but she has some balls acting as though her shit dont stink because she made a few bucks and moved up in the rankings if you actually want to call it an organization. An organization full of class pets and favoritism with a few that have college degrees from top notch universities yet they rather throw their lives away eating hot dogs oysters and other shit that will eventually do damage to their internal organs in the near future . Major League eating seems to be her entire focus in life instead of learning a trade or maybe becoming a doctor or lawyer. What is even more mind boggling is that this person is so determined to make a star appearance on ESPN 3 on July 4th. . ESPN 3 will get you about as much exposure as one of those old cam videos that Seiken put together on his website 7yrs ago. The Lefevres love to take the roll of adopted grandparents to anyone that is starstruck when the see them Ex Toro Sudo.etc. Hanging out with Rich is like hanging with Tiger Woods as far as Toro concerned.

    Gormand what is even more creepier is that a former member of MLE who happens to be married o a woman is more obsessed with men and their personal hygiene than anything else. Maybe what he needs is for a few guys to beat him up with dirty underwear

    I doubt every much that opinion is Hank. Text does not match. Hank is the author of Sonya website even though Sonya swears she takes care of that department. Hank has also been the odds on favorite to be Rhonda Evans and that makes more sense based upon similarities in writing from this site and Sonya site

    Never believe when these female eaters tell you ” i dont care what people say about me on eatfeats” or “I rarely visit the site” That is total bullshit. They use that line as a defense mechanism hoping you will believe the comments did not bother them when they do. Juliet Lee Sonya Miki if you ask them they will tell you the same thing . There was a time when Sonya was bullied on this site , Juliet then became the focus of debris and cheating and now its Miki and the 911. People will always look to find dirt on someone regardless of their individual talents. The 911 stuff must have been a goldmine find for the haters

    Didn’t Miki voluntarily sit out Nathan’s last year to give Sonya one more chance to shine? That shows respect for her elders.

  24. anonymous said

    June 14, 2014 @ 4:31 pm

    You make it seem as though Sudo had a choice but opted to sit out Nathans out of fear of being possibly assasinated on stage. Someone started trouble with sponsor and maybe just maybe she was given a choice to sit it out or compete. To avoid fanfare she might have decided to not compete. To come out and say that she sat out Nathans so Sonya can win is absolutely ludicrous . Where do you get your info from?

    I doubt Hank visits this site anymore . Hank was or might still be to Sonya what Joe Mcdonald is to his brother Jamie. I think Sonya might have dumped Hank because you dont seen the both of them together anymore thus squashing the marriage rumors. If by chance they do get married Sonya will wear the pants in the family and Hank will wear the apron

    According to Carlene Lefevre in a 2007 video interview with El Toro, she claims that Hank is a true gentleman. He sensed that she needed a glass of water and without her even asking for that glass of water, Hank went out of his way to bring it to her. Hank is a real mans man and a ladies man with manners

I’ll tell you what Violet why don’t you keep your thoughts to the set of “Carrie” and go back to arranging the magnets on your refridgerator into a pentagram. Wow these Miki freaks are really creeps. Led of course by Rich, I look like the reverend from Polyergeist II, Leferve

    That’s one of the dumbest things posted lately, and that’s saying something in this cesspool.

    I’m betting you’ve never even had a conversation with her, or for that matter Juliet. Hank, Sonya, or Juliet most likely couldn’t care less about anything that appears here. All three are way too classy to lower themselves to swim with the sewage. They would be lowering themselves to even be interested in this nonsense. And, I’m fairly certain none of them has served any “home detention.” In that regard, there’s only the “Princess Mad Bomber.” Maybe that could be a catchy stage moniker.

My girl Carlene (who is totally oblivious to what’s happening on this site and your vigorous campaign to keep Miki out of the Nathan’s finals) or my friend, who is just trying to lead a productive life which she is doing by holding a responsible full time job. My beef is with you and anyone else who goes out of their way to destroy a good person’s career based on one isolated incident several years ago.

    I am, totally disgusted with this conversation. I demand that Carlene voice be heard right now. She once said that Hank is a wonderful kind man sensitive to womans needs. If she feels it is not necessary to step to the plate, then maybe Rich can speak for her and let the public know if she still feels the same way about him. Sonya is not going to like this one bit

    Carlene has never had a problem with Hank or Sonya. The only person in ce she has ever had a problem with is Dale Boone and it worked to motivate her to trounce him in Atlanta. She is an exceptional person (like Ron’s Lisa) who doesn’t get involved with all of this childs play. She is unaware of all the underhanded shenanigans taking place and I want to keep it that way. I’ll take full responsibility for trying to deal with injustices to other people. In the past I have come to the defense of several eaters who have been wronged on this site (including Sonya). Miki is only the most recent person who is getting unmercifully slandered by certain people who have ulterior motives. She has paid for her crime (no onewas hurt and there was never any malicious intent). Calling her a terrorist is an outright and deliberate lie.

    Lets face it Locust you and Carlene dumped Sonya for Miki . Sonya used to speak very highly of you and Carlene on her website but her associations with Hank left a sour taste in your mouth

  57. Locust said

    June 16, 2014 @ 12:47 pm

    Dumped Sonya for Miki? That’s a good one. In case you didn’t know, we live on opposite sides of the country and haven’t spoken to each other since 2008. We met Miki at a minor rib eating contest we had entered for fun in the summer of 2012. We cheered her on at one of the qualifiers thinking as a new and inexperienced female eater by herself she could use some vocal support. She easily won the 5 minute contest and blew the rest of us away (including Tom Gilbert) a few days later in the finals. We got to know each other in the following months. I found out her past a few days after we met and immediately wanted to know what led her to do such a terrible thing. She explained all the circumstances which led up to the fateful event. It was just a horribly unfortunate coincidence that it just happened to occur on 9/11. I’m sure there isn’t a day that goes by that she doesn’t wish she could have a re-do. The Miki that Carlene and I have gotten to know is kind, considerate and respectful of others.
