    The winning total of the 2004 Saratoga qualifier was 20.5, so it did not make the list

    Cookie Jarvis won the 2005 Long Island Ducks qualifier

    If the first qualifiers listed above were military/fire/police/postal worker just think, 11-13 HDB would get the job done. We could open up the job descriptions to social worker/ counselor/ court reporter/ detective/ journalist as well. Hell, just make a know-it-all category and the Brain is all alone at the table.

    Has anyone noticed that Kobayashi is keeping a low profile. Now in his late 30’s competitive eating is no longer a priority for him . No more Invites where he headlines the show to a bunch of saps that were either thrown out of the IFOCE or remained independent . No more bug screen simulcasts with Nathans in some fancy restaurant on park ave in NYC. Last i heard he is studying mathematics 2.0
