    I was in Maui this past week, and was surprised to see a picture in the Maui Newspaper of Pat Bertoletti in the Shreveport Grits competition. We are originally from that area so I brought the paper back, and would like to mail it to him. How can I get in touch with him?

    dawn, that sounds awesome. That grit eating contest got a ton of press. You can email me at Pbertoletti@kendall.edu. I would really appreciate that, and look forward to speaking with you.

    Did anyone notice the last sentence of that “detailed” write-up of the waffles contest on the IFOCE site (seriously, if you can’t report full results, at least report all the money winners)? Here it is:

    “In other competitive eating news, retired gurgitator Edward ‘Cookie’ Jarvis reportedly mowed his lawn today.”

    Do you think that’s a jab at Cookie (i.e. “he ain’t doing s**t now”) because of his anger about the MLE DVD or do you think someone was just trying to be funny?

    Mega, Rich Shea writes those stories. It was his cute way of saying that Jarvis is boring

    Not as boring as Joey Chestnut. By the way, how many times does Pat have to beat Joey before he is moved in front of him. Even Tim Janus has finished ahead of Chestnutts. Joey was ranked ahead of Koby at light speed after Nathan’s, which was Koby’s only loss in five years in the states. This is a joke right?

    You are right on Brad. The Waffle House people were very gracious hosts and treated all the eaters as VIPs. Cudos to them as well as Joey & Pat for another outstanding performance down to the wire. It never gets boring.

    SYKOBOZO: Perhaps you should paint your hair (wig) green and wear a real football jersey next time. I think I was successful putting the wammy on the stinkin, loser Cowboys as they are getting their asses kicked right now.

    October 9, 2007 @ 9:34 am

    Like Nathan’s, Krystals needs to be two contests. There needs to be the real FINALS, featuring Koby, Joey, and Pat, as that’s all everyone’s focus will be on anyway, preceded by the contest involving ALL OTHERS.

    Why not? I bet it would be well received by the viewing public. Think about it.

  33. Jason Petrie said

    October 10, 2007 @ 7:12 am

    At least one eater from each contest should get the full, official results and post them on eatfeats(The IFOCE will not post full results), follow the example of Wild Bill. I’m sure there are many out there following the sport who would like to see the full results, not just the top end. Hopefully, someone reading this will take note…

    Thanks Wild Bill!

    October 10, 2007 @ 4:35 pm

    SyKoBOZO. . . I thought you did good too. I had a little bit of a leg up since I live right next to a Waffle House. Though I haven’t visited it since the event. Let me know when you get the video and pictures. I’ll see if I can’t get mine posted as well.

    USMale. . . I think you definately deserve some props. You are a good eater, I read some things about you in Wing Bowl. . . much respect. My hat goes off to you.

    I propose a toast to all competitive eaters. May our Stomachs never get full, our Jaws never grow tired, and our Metabolism never fail.

    Thanks InTimmidator! I appreciate the props and will make sure I do much better in waffles next year. Go to http://www.wingbowlvideo.com and you can order a copy of the recent Wing Bowl for only $12.99. You can use Paypal. I will soon be in training for the next one on Feb 1 where I plan on being up there with Joey & Pat in what I feel is my specialty.

    HEY THANKS TIMM!!!!!!! hey USMALE,should i wear a Owens jersey to Wing Bowl this year,maybe my trick can be to see how many times i can get beat up by the crowd,lol……yes im crazy,but im not THAT crazy,i better show up in a Kearse jersey…..actually i told you my company is out of Philly,and some of them have been to Wing Bowl,they said it is super crazy,so now i want to check it out if i can,when is the exact date of it,maybe i can ask for training from the home office and get some free airfare out of it,shhhhhhh secret….on a side note,Patrick is on a terror right now,Have a Nice Day

    October 11, 2007 @ 9:35 am

    USMALE I wish you well. We need a new winner. I feel sorry for El Wingador. I really do. Not only do I think you can beat him this year, I think both Joey and Pat will totally embarrass him in front of his loyal fans. He’s not even in the same league as those two. yet, (Wing Bowl) wings is the one food where he stands half a chance at just finishing close enough to them (or most any other of the top dozen or so ranked MLE eaters) to avoid total humiliation.

    Anyway, that aside, I think Wing Bowl is about partying and having fun, and the competition is just icing on the cake. There’s nothing like it in this world!

    WING BOWL! I can’t wait. Seriously, I can’t. I’m going down to the Holiday Inn parking lot this weekend and setting up my fold-out chair, getting drunk, throwing up and then driving back home after I wake up.

  55. Mega Munch said

    October 11, 2007 @ 5:18 pm

    By the way, I didn’t mean to sound like I was mocking the pre-event fun that is had at Wing Bowl. We really did all that stuff last year (minus the puking and passing out) and it was awesome.

    HAHAHAHA,USMALE that was funny,i will give that round to you,……do people really tailgate for Wing Bowl,thats cool…(Mega Munches comment was funny)..so its like a one day blow out,the CE Rock concert?

  57. USMALE said (Registered September 4, 2007)

    October 12, 2007 @ 6:26 am

    Mega Munch is on the money. Thousands actually do arrive the night before to tailgate and drink the night away before the doors open around 5am. I thought I saw Mega sitting there last night in a folding chair with some cheap beer and a few cheesesteaks.

    Thanks for the props Rhonda. As a rookie, I hope to be up there with the big boys again but only ahead throughout.

    Howdy Brad. I saw a clip from waffles on a tv show recently; I think it was VH1. I believe it was a show called Best Week Ever, where random C list celebrities sarcastically comment on current events and pop culture.
