    Tough one, but I got to go with Badlands. Not only is he the nicest guy you will meet, he is also putting up nearly 40 hdbs. And his contributions to CE off the table with his music are important.

    You can’t overlook a guy who just eats one hdb in the finals. It takes serious guts to do that, but seriously, what shot did he have at besting the big eaters that time out? He probably had the best “seat” in the house!

    why dont you give Don Moses lerman a break . He posted this poll on his site first and has only vote which could be his. Why do you need to copy whats already on his site?

    It is a travesty the great Brian Seiken was left off the first time. Now he’s getting screwed again? What an outrage!

    When they erect the Competitive Eating Hall of Fame, perhaps the IFOCE may be able to get permission from greats Don Moses Lerman and Beautiful Brian Seiken to use holograms depicting their likeness, with which to mark the entrance to this magnificent shrine which, no doubt, will rival both the Statue of Liberty and Cooperstown in majesty.

    It’s not really a wall of fame… not sure why everyone keeps calling it that. It’s more like who’s current and participating. But yeah badlands should definitely be up there.

    Love the hologram idea, except it would be a fullgram – know what I mean?

    Blizz: The reason why everyone keeps calling the “Wall of Fame” the “Wall of Fame” is because it says at the bottom of the “Wall of Fame,” “Wall of Fame.”

    How can they take off Don Lerman, who practically invented competitive eating, and legendary Cookie Jarvis, yet leave Kobayashi and Thomas up there? Makes no sense!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I would go a step further and suggest an all MOSES 24hr radio show on SIRRUS satellite hosted by Lerman nephew like they are doing for Elvis & Sinatra. He could talk about Don all day play clips from past contests and take phone calls

    What is up with Rich Lefevre? He just sort of bowed out of the rankings. Did he retire, is he ill, or WTF?

    In all fairness the aice should also have a wall of fame constructed near peggy o’ neils . Since moses lerman ended his career with aice his image should be placed front and center with Arnie chapman along side eating legends of the future like Jill Stoler, Pork Slap Arcadia Tiny Tim and North Pole.
