December 7, 2013 @ 11:13 am
For the record Brian Seiken invested somewhere around $80 for the brisket stunt in Dec 2003 which included a practice run . He did a practice run at work and got the job done in 8 min 3 days prior to the WIP stunt. He made the big mistake of taking advice from Krazy Kevin who insisted he microwave the brisket when they got there. When you microwave deli meat , it becomes dry dense bland and bulky almost like eating pure bran cereal. Not to mention the 2lbs becomes more like 4lbs. If he ate the brisket straight up like he did in the practice run and just microwaved the gravy , he would have qualified for wing bowl . BTW this is not Seiken

Anonymous said
December 7, 2013 @ 2:04 pm
Any above average eater could have completed that stunt. Maybe if Seiken hadn’t bad mouthed Angelo Cataldi on his website, he may have gotten more time but I doubt he would have finished.

What does it matter it was 7 yrs ago. Get your facts straight before you post inaccuracies. The station moved to another location in 2005 . I went down with kevin and don in a torrential downpoor of rain. The stunt was 50 boiled dumplings in 6 or 8 min. Forgot time. The dumplings were rotten when we got there . The late baseball ump erik gregg had a disgusted look on his face after getting a whiff and advised me secretly not to do it. I wasn’t about to risk food poisoning for a contest where I would have more than likely been seated at a kiddy table with ken wong and gaseous maximus. I asked if I could reschedule and do 3 lbs of corn in 5 min. They said no problem. When I got there a few weeks later all a sudden morganti has a sudden lapse of amnesia and refused to approve the stunt. boasting his grandmother could eat 3 lbs in 5 min. He approved 48 seconds. He got annoyed when I asked if his grandmother could do 48 seconds. With all that I gave it a shot and came up slightly short. Failed to mention that I’m doing the stunt with those two nerdy idiots who filmed that retarded wing bowl movie holding a video camera in my face without my consent. Josh something? The movie went nowhere anyway.

I would have liked to be in wingbowl just once for the experience alone. I never had a problem with Cataldi.It was the the other guy who screwed me over twice. Morganti promised me if i came in 1st or second in the 2003 wingoff i was secured a spot in wingbowl. I came in second to Lerman but it still wasn’t good enough. I guess your right 750

What experience?? You walking through the crowd because you are too cheap to built a float, no entourage, getting garbage thrown at you, and giving up half way into the first round because the wings are cold and you hit a wall.
anonymous said

Rather have no entourage then pay off people or plead with them to be in it because you have no fuckin real friends to your name

On another note no wonder Shredder never wanted to be in wingbowl. Who would be in his entourage? Maybe a total of 3. Jarvis , the wife and maybe one of his senior citizen co workers.

Obvious that in a weighed wing event certain eaters true talents are exposed with nothing but the truth. One in particular competed with MLE from 2007-2010 . A span which covered 4yrs . In that time period this one individual finished no better than 5th in Buffalo which utilized a real scale which exposed his primitive skills. Results in no consecutive order were 8th 5th 7th & 12th. Look it up if you don’t believe me . No wonder he moved on to try and win a contest that has farce written all over it from day 1 . Even his buddy Brian Subich who fakes animosity on FB with this individual with the intent of screwing with someone else head, managed to whip his ass twice in Buffalo . Even with that said , the party in question refused to admit that Subich beat him. As far as popularity and entourage , all you have to do is show them the $$$ along with a little begging and you can buy all the friends you want . Case Closed

619 get your freakin facts straight ok? Seiken knocked off allen Goldstein in a matzah ball qualifier in greenvale long island in 2003 . He beat him in corned beef in 2004
He also beat him in french fry qualifier in 2005 to advance to second rd. He beat him in pasta in2003 but George Shea liked Goldstein so he gave him an undeserved tie for 3rd place.Finishing ahead of a shitstein cuz is nothing to brag about

This feud is not really between Seiken and the CUZ x 2 but Seiken and everyone else, eaters, families, any targets. Seiken wants respect. Never goes about it the right way. You can be any number eater, beat no one and still be respected. Everyone wants to be respected. Easy to understand that part.

Its funny how two faced Goldstein makes a short speech after Seiken beat him in the Bens Matzah ball qualifier in Greenvale 2003 ” It was an honor competing against a legend such as Beautiful brian. 10 yrs later on this very blog “But finishing behind a Seiken is cause for humiliation and embarrassment”.

It was an honor to compete at all with 3 faced goldstein, seiken, booker and who ever else was there because that was the final matzah ball contest with ben’s. the good ol days.
anonymous said
December 10, 2013 @ 11:19 am
The bottom line is that Allen Goldstein did not have an eating career worthy of gaining acceptance into the hall of fame. Forget about how he beat Seiken at Nathans . That’s not the issue. Yes Goldstein knocked off some pretty good eaters in the Nathans finals . Hardy. Lerman Boone. Monsoon, Flash, Juliet. Booker but Hardy and Lerman were on their way out anyway. 3 out his five appearance in the Nathans finals were wildcards. The two qualifiers where he legit won to get the finals were jokes. Who did he beat in 2006 ? Kevin Basso? 2008? Leon Feingolds sister? Damon Serginet? Fred Harrison? Quite an impressive bunch of household names. Sounds like the group of tomato cans George Foreman knocked out during his comeback in 1987 . And of course how can we forget the legendary Gus Shaffer the guy whom the Sheas practically picked off the street to go up against Goldstein for the title rally bologna title after Dave Coondog O Karma refused to compete unless he was flown out to NYC. What about Goldstein dead last finish in the Krystal finals in 2007 with a $600 gift attached to that finish which he certainly did not deserve. Yeah you had a career to be proud of. Cursing and screaming on the ride home from Charlotte because you couldnt accept the fact that Yasir Saleem beat you fair and square in the Nathans qualifier . To add insult to injury, instead of retiring with honor like your mentor Cookie Jarvis, you align yourself with a a galoof like US Male and show off your criff dog shirt after completing a rigged Barbeque challenge in LI. Im sure you are real proud of yourself
Anonymous said
December 10, 2013 @ 12:02 pm
Career?? Retire with honor?? You’ve been retired for years but you don’t know it. The crif shirt was a goof, CE in general was a goof, done all in fun until it felt like work. 11:19 Seiken, we all know it’s you, since you are so obsessed with Allen and the only one who would remember so much useless information about him. Did you deserve the $100 from TooJays or the pity trip to Las Vegas because you threw a tantrum like a 2 year old and threatened to shut down your website. I think not. And unless you were in Charlotte for the ride home (and thank heavens you weren’t). Don’t assume there was cursing and screaming. Disappointment, maybe. You would give anything to make Nathan’s once by any means: wild card, pity bye, beating a coma patient, everyone at the qualifier throwing up at the same time except you, etc, etc, etc. Keep dreaming and keep hoping. Some day is might happen.

Anonymous said
December 10, 2013 @ 2:09 pm
So what we learned from the master himself is that if he (Seiken) doesn’t like you:
– your challenges are fixed & rigged
– any prize you win is unjustified and undeserving
– he never made it to Nathans yet all your wins are jokes
– your wife/girlfriend is not up to his standards
– you’re boring and incompetent
– he can have an excuse for a bad performance but you can’t because you really suck
– he has loads of friends but you have to pay for yours

Seiken is not bragging about s few victories over a washed up never been.He was just correcting shredders loving cuz when he erroneously stated that Seiko never beat the goldstein cuz in anything. And what’s with the ???? on 3/16/04 and 3/31/ 05 . What matters is Seiken beat him in both so I don’t know what OJ is trying to insinuate

Those stats did not shut Seiken up. The question was answered in the stats. The shorter one was crushed 3 times by Seiken. Once in corned beef once in matzah balls and once in french fries. OJ is too much of a punk to fill in the ???? Well i will fill them in for you 7th place in corned beef . French fries were 3rd advancing heats in which Seiken crushed him in the first rd to advance to the second. I think Seiken might have knocked off the uglier one at Bway on the Beach if it wasnt for him piling some of his remains on Seiken plate as a joke when the contest ended

It really IS funny that “certain people” wouldn’t even be mentioned in any (other than their own) CE discussion if they weren’t so stupid. But, when you function emotionally on a 9-year old level, it’s kind of amusing to see the poor “disrespected” really can’t shut up and just let something go.

Look Seiken crushed that over rated spoiled brat a few times but you refuse to give him his just due. Shitsteins have never beaten anyone of top caliber in the IFOCE . If they did win anything the results were questionable or the victories were against very poor competition. Look who shitstein beat in the wingbowl. Oink oink damaging doug? ??????? Household names ?

Is it really “crushing” when you win by a French fry crumb, a sliver of cabbage and an quarter of a matzah ball? And if so, what would Seiken consider “just due”? Maybe a pat on the back by George Shea and him saying; “you did real good.” Can’t wait to see how the beautiful one will wow us with his eating abilities in 2014. Maybe he’ll eat his blender.
