    Wow Nathan. That’s the most comprehensive list of eaters I’ve ever seen! It must have taken a week to put that together.

    Dear Kevin,

    I publicly challenge you to an eat off.

    Sincerely,

    Kevin

    i just realized that it looks like i challenged myself to an eat off, so i should probably be more specific so i don’t get the nickname kevin “the schizophrenic guy” lewis.

    i, kevin the cool guy, am challenging kevin ross to an eat off to see who is the best most greatest eater who is also named kevin and ranked in the high 40’s or low 50’s.

    i’m imagining this on espn.

    the winner will get the ranking of 49.5

    or a tshirt.

    can’t wait to see how this goes down!
