Texas State Fair Jalapeno contest video
A video clip of the 2006 jalapeno contest at the Texas State Fair, won by Rich LeFevre, is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuT1P4sCphE Sonya Thomas, Pat Bertoletti and Erik Denmark also appear. Rich and Carlene LeFevre are interviewed. All the eaters wear different shirts due to the cancellation of GoldenPalace.net’s sponsorship, which is a surprising sight at an IFOCE contest.

This has got to be the biggest upset in an eating contest since Crazy Legs defeated his homeboy Eater X back in May at the ice cream contest. The Locust made shock waves throughout the entire Mexican community with his win. Needless to say he was the talk of an entire country (Mexico) where people take a great deal of pride on their ability to eat Jalapenos. I can just imagine the disbelief people had when hearing of Richs accomplishment 247 Jalapenos in 8 minutes. I’ll say it again, just like the Jalapenos, Rich the Locust LeFevre was on FIRE that day!!
