The Kinetic Carnival blog reports that a benefit auction will be held for the Coney Island USA cultural arts organization on November 3. A Nathan’s judgeship will be one of the items up for auction. George Shea will be a special guest and tickets will be $40. The dress code is “sideshow chic”. Tickets can be purchased online.
PittsburghLive has an article about Brad Sciullo which calls him the world record holder in cannoli eating even though Tim Janus and Cookie Jarvis have eaten more cannolis. Brad says he has consumed a gallon of milk in 26 seconds, almost halving Joey Chestnut’s qualification stunt for Wing Bowl 14.
Brad Sciullo will compete in the Famous Famiglia pizza contest a week from today, which might upset some IFOCE members who did not get a slot in that competition and have abided by the IFOCE contractual restrictions.
The Star Telegram has an interview with corny dog runner-up Brent Ricord.
A list of the San Genarro cannoli contest winners and their totals follows after the jump:

A list of the sanctioned contests in the eatfeats database with the 10 largest ratios between the victor and runner-up follows. The ratio is the first column in the table.
A list of all contests with ratios greater than the 2001 Nathan’s finals in which Kobayashi doubled the previous record follows:
Juliet Lee has updated her WriteNow page with a report on the Krystal finals and her piloting the boat delivering the competitors to the contest site. She does not mention the Nashville qualifier, but says she was trying to be especially neat in the finals. Juliet will record a program for the Food Network with Guy Fieri in New York City this month which will be televised in November or December.
Val Bromann has a blog entry and gallery about her trip to the Krystal finals. Her father drove her from Chicago to Chattanooga from midnight to Sunday morning.
Hall Hunt also has some pictures on his blog.
update Jamie of Hungry Sisters has a pre-KSO report which includes her selection as Kobayashi’s bunnette and several videos. (She will post a contest report later)
update #2 The trip report on hungrysisters has been extended to cover the contest and a gallery has also been uploaded.
SonyaTheBlackWidow.com is currently down and brings up a generic search page. It also experienced an outage of several days after Sonya announced she would miss last year’s Krystal finals and for more than a week after the controversial 2006 meatball contest.
The new poll asks how you think contest slots should be allocated when the demand exceeds the supply.
Bodybuilder Isabelle Turell reports in a forum thread that she has sent an application to the IFOCE, which has not yet responded. She also announces her intention to attempt the Pointersaurus Pizza challenge with her fiance, who says that Isabelle once ordered five multiple-patty burgers from McDonald’s
IFBB North American Lightweight Champ Lori Steele claims in the thread that she is the niece of Rich LeFevfre
Isabelle Turell’s myspace page lists her ethnicity as Hispanic. Orange County taco champion Karina Muniz and “Nurse” Caterina of the Heart Attack Grill would be Isabelle’s only rivals for the title of top Latina competitive eater that I am aware of.
The Morning Call has an article about Wild Bill Myers. There are some outtakes from the column in the reporter’s blog.
Sonya Thomas’ most recent update to her website reports that she did not receive a slot to the Famous Famiglia pizza contest despite signing up on-line soon after registration opened.
The contest press release, available on the Famous Famiglia news page, is dated September 11 and lists several expected entrants even though registration officially opened on September 15.
R Suzuki has blog entries about the Gluttonous King contest that was televised today on TV Tokyo. Results from the final round:
1. “Doctor” Nishikawa, 33 bowls of noodles in an hour
2. Takuya Yamamoto, 32 bowls
3. Hatsuyo “the Witch” Sugawara, 27 bowls
Nishikawa’s mark breaks the previous record held by the now retired Nobuyuki “the Giant” Shirota.
(I think Nishikawa is an actual medical doctor like Juris Shibayama but am not 100% sure.)
The Gluttonous King home page has pictures of all the finalists which included Mio “Sakura” Takahashi (5th place) and “Essen” (9th place). Natsuko “Gal” Sone and Tomoko Miyake apparently did not compete.
From the Krystal Square Off twitter:
1. Joey Chestnut 93 burgers
2. Pat Bertoletti 85 burgers
3. Takeru Kobayashi 84 burgers

DNJ.com has a report on Dr. Big Time’s 10 place finish
Kobayashi has a blog entry which concludes (automatically translated)
First of all, I would from next year through the IFOCE, or do believe in freedom.
Of course, is also free to Nathan and Crystal would want to be a challenge.
update The Krystal Square Off blog has full results
IFOCE.com reports Kobayashi received a 2 burger deduction, which cost him second place and $5,000 in prize money
(From Crawfish comment) The Glutton Bowl will be rerun on the Fox Reality Channel tonight at 10pm and 1am eastern. The show duration is two hours. Five hours of competitive eating programming on various channels is probably a record for one 24 hour period.
