    3-4 miles.

    It has a lottery to get in. Each ticket costs $5. Taking 10 or 15 “winners”

    It is no hands. How quickly you eat a bowl?! Prizes are gift cards to the restaurant.

    Joe, you said a while back that you knew who OJ Rifkin is. Can you give us some clues.

    I don’t like ‘no hands’ but I have done it before, & am pretty good at it.

    Its impossible to remain gentlemanly w/no hands.

    I honestly don’t want to know who OJ is. & I won’t reveal anymore clues.

    This site, overall, is good for all of us. & I don’t want OJ to close up shop, if its revealed who it is.

    There are many theories as to the identity of Mr Rifkin. Hall Hunt who posseses nearly as much intelligence as a rocket scientist came to the conclusion it was Liz K. Arnie Chapman whose accusations usually proceed fits of rage made references to Shea/Nerz. George Shea swears its a female, It is not Conti nor his mom. Ryan is involved in some aspect. Friend of the family or what not but he is involved that is for sure. Dave Shofner? ehhh not the logical choice. One thing is for sure Rhonda Evans is someone that has been around the sport and knows the eaters If i was to bet the ranch i would venture to say that the site is run by a male and not a female

    G-Joe I agree with you whole heartedly. I know that Arnie/APE does not like business with this site and I can see why. But I adore the site for what it is. Several opportunitys have arose for me from this website. But my heart – as big as my stomach – will ALWAYS be loyal to Arnie “Chowhound” Chapman and all of the eaters of All Pro Eating.
    My personal heroes in CE are Mark Lyle, Ian Hickman, Arnie Chapman, Joe Menchetti, The GREAT eater from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, Pat Bertoletti, Badland Bokker, Bob Kuhns, Pete Maruzio, and Kevin Kordalski.
    As far as a “Hands Free” contest – anyone who knows me knows that I would SUCK in such a contest and I have refused to participate in a few of these events due to obvious constrictions.
    Good luck Joe.

    A lottery to get in? Interesting tactic. That explains how they’re able to put up such a nice purse.

    As for who OJ is, I’m with GJoe here. It’s probably best to let it remain a secret, since there’s probably a good reason why that person is keeping it a secret. But just to throw my own advice out the window for a moment, let’s not forget that before this site was called Eat Feats, it was called “Trencherwomen,” and it was dedicated to highlighting great feats of eating by women. Draw your own conclusions from that clue.

    that means nothing you idiot. Just because the site was devoted to women it does not necessarily mean a woman runs the site. I think you are involved in some aspect with this site.
