Olive Garden – Can eaters just stop with the boring same stupid AYCE pasta bowl shit? So bad and re-done so many times. Talk about reaching for content. Pathetic. Same with AYCE’s period! No one cares!

Cozy Dogs–what a line-up! The gap between first and second will be massive.
And tamales is hysterical. ALways funny to see all the crappy Texas eaters come out of the woodworks. And I guess Adrian hasn’t given up on CE yet–isn’t he in his 40s?

Pat Bertoletti? I stopped talking to him in 2012 after he made that insensitive remark about the late Scott Bickel who committed suicide after he lost a Nathan’s qualifier in Chicago “ I’m gonna make him my bitch”

I competed in a tamale contest some years ago .I was getting friendly with the lady who was co sponsor of the event .She also cooked the tamales She was in her early 40s hot hot hot Mexican tamale
She was married but I could give a rats ass. She seemed to have a thing for Janus but he wouldn’t know a good piece if it was right in his face. I had a few drinks with her prior to the contest but she told me another sponsor took over something about racism.The tamales are ok but after awhile they start to taste like shit They had this rookie MC that had no idea what the fuck he was doing .Name was Keating. After a few contests the Sheas ended up firing him I think Stonie won the contest but on the plane ride home he was in bathroom throwing up or on the bowl Not to mention the oppressive heat Felt like 110 . I can’t believe Nate is still competing in this contest
