It has been over a week since the July 3 goldenpalace.net BBQ ribs contest in Memphis won by Dale Boone and results for that event have yet to be posted on the IFOCE website. The new poll question asks what you believe the reason for this delay is.

    Several guesses. Since I believe you to work for them in some fashion, its kinda posted already. They are taking a semi-deserved vacation?! Most likely they are in the process of switching things over to Major League Eating.

    5 of your 6 choices are boone related?!

    sorry I accidently hit return. To continue, the guy didn’t win ribs, he came in 3rd. They love Boone. He creates a stir & thats all this is to them. Because of his schtick, he’s probably the greatest mediocre eater ever. He is a pr*ck B#stard, but as long as his schtick isn’t aimed at you, he’s hilarious.

    Sorry, so many Rib contests, i’m confusing them now, & I won one. Forget most of the last two posts. Memphis, Carolina they are certainly the same region… sue me… again!

    More than likely he stirred up problems in Memphis which is nothing new. IFOCE seems to find him amusing regardless of what he does. However, everyone has a tolerance level. As soon as he starts messing with one of their sponsors all the fun becomes serious shit

    To dispute Menchetti’s claim I strongly believe that OJ and the Shea’s are anything but connected in any way. I think OJ can vouch for and give me credit for giving this site initial internet life so to speak. I was surfing the web for competitive eating sites just before or after alka seltzer finals and stumbled upon this interesting site which was supposed to be devoted to womens eating exploits . I gave it a mention in bits and pieces and it took off from that point. I believe its anniversary date is July 25 2005. If you look at the archives it was Arnie Chapman who broke the ice with the first two comments ever posted which happened to be negative remarks

    It’s not just that specific Rib contest for which there’s a lack of news / results. The IFOCE seems to have used all their energy in leveraging publicity for Coney Island. That’s been THE focus the last several weeks. Hell, one could almost surmise that everyone’s on hiatus to revitalize.

    Kate doesn’t do the actual coding, no?

    After the event Boone began to belittle Bubba and the Legend, but contest official Charles Hardy was quick to remind the Mouth of the South of a few eaters not in attendance: Chestnut, Thomas, Bertoletti, Simpson, Janus, LeFevre, Shoudt, Booker, Philbin, Denmark, Subich, Conti, Seaver, and Goldstein

    This is copy paste from the IFOCE latest rib update. Hardy never reminded Boone about these others eaters and never mentioned each name. Why are they making up stuff.

    Chestnut, Thomas, Bertoletti, Simpson, Janus, LeFevre, Shoudt, Booker, Philbin, Denmark, Subich, Conti, Seaver, and Goldstein.
    In essence what the IFOCE is trying to say is that these are good eaters and everyone else sucks or is not worth mentioning

    Don’t you geyt it yet! Nearly all they do is make stuff up.

    I’m surprised they mentioned some of the names at the tail end of that listing.

    The IFOCE only cares about their pr. They don’t give a rat’s ass about the eaters. Except the ones who are golden for their pr machine. If anyone thinks it’s about a sport, get real. $. That’s all.

    The Shea brothers are entrepreneurs. Risk takers in any endeavor should receive a return on their investment. If you don’t like it, go play elsewhere. GJoe makes good money, though he’s the only one I know of outside the IFOCE that does. That’s because he has brains AND above average talent. Those assets don’t have to be mutually exclusive, you know. But each is a hard-to-find commodity outside of the IFOCE camp, unfortunately.

    Ideally it would be nice to have another viable organization with eaters, talent-wise, to compete with the IFOCE. Perhaps that will be the case one day — an organization that can attract top eaters. For money follows talent.
