    That’s good, but I think even Brian Seiken could finish an 11 pound pizza in 2 hours.

    No great feat. I would agree on Seiken doing it in 2 hours

    You happen to be dead wrong . Stephanie can speed eat or slow eat and thats been established in burrito and other foods. There was no urgency to set any type of speed record in the eating challenge. It was all about capacity

    What a laugh. In an hour and 51 minutes Stephanie Wu could have eaten a 20 pound pizza.

    Almost 2 hrs?! That isn’t impressive. I’ve seen ppl do a 10.5 lb pizza in under 40. U ppl were giving her a seat at Nathans for that?

    Let’s see this chick go head to head! Everyone would be a comp eater if it was just restaurant challenges. Show us you can go the distance.

    This is truly ridiculous, do you think there was a $1000 bounty on that pizza cause it was easy? Steph is smart for just not even responding here. She didn’t ask for the publicity, she knows she can eat. One point to be made, is that people that eat fast in the short term often do not fair as well in longer distance stuff. And the opposite is also true. You can’t expect her to be good at everything all the time, but she still has never dissappointed! Again a fine job. Take a look at the folks that couldn’t finish the 5lb challenge etc.

    With a little bit of searching, you’ll discover that Torres has gone head-to-head previously.

    http://eatfeats.com/american-festival-hot-dog-contest-report-and-video.html

    She defeated Excel and a masked man by eating 14 hdbs in a non-dunking contest

    http://eatfeats.com/tom-gilbert-wins-mr-dashs-burger-contest.html

    And here she finished 1/2 burger behind Tom Gilbert, and ahead of Excel, Ybarra, and others.

    We have “see[n] this chick go head to head.” Look for the information and you will find it. If she wants to compete, she will.

    I’ll give her one thing, She knows how to pace herself. I imagine she could do a dozen dogs in 10 minutes as well as 30 in an hour. She’s a great one.

    Thanks NReda, 14 hdb with no dunking is a fine number. Your measured responses, your links and information, and your opinions are great to read and stand out amidst the unfounded dirt. Rich LeFevre and Sonya both can do the long game, as we know Sonya is THE woman to go up against if Stephanie wants to.

    Was something lost in translation? LOL. She has already established the ability to eat 14 dogs in 5 minutes.
    If the contest ran for 10 minutes, the deduction of logic implies that she would eat a number even higher than 14.

  19. Who cares? said

    February 27, 2011 @ 11:46 am

    Who cares who posted this first? Who cares it took 2 hrs to do 11 lbs? Who cares if anyone thinks she can do Nathans? Let that little girl sit at the big kids tables, eat AGAINST someone, and see what she’s made out of.

    Eaters that fail to put up impressive numbers always use the excuse that they could have eaten more after the buzzer rings or that that the food didnt fill them up and they were still hungry after the contest . If that were the case then why didnt they win? . That is total bull for they need some kind of alibi and it makes perfect sense to use the clock as such.. In Stephanies case you have to make the exception. . 14 dogs in 5 minutes is impressive but then again you have to factor in body language after she ate the first 14. Usually you can tell by someones expression if the buzzer was the sole reason as to why they couldnt continue. If she felt as though she was ready to hit the wall after 5 min and slowed down considerably , then you can assume that she was almost done and wasnt going to do the deuce. If after the 5 min mark she had her hand on the next dog almost as if she were on her first or second, then its obvious that the bell did her in.

    Next week Sonya’s going to eat about 11 lbs. of King Cake (a breadlike coffee cake type food with no sauce) in about 10 minutes and Stephanie could only eat 11 lbs. of Pizza in about 2 hours. Enough with comparing Stephanie with Sonya there is no comparison.
