    Should have managed their finances better instead of giving a few thousand to scumbag eaters every year

    Very poorly run event They would have declared Boone the winner debris and all in his cups if not for Furious Pete pointing out that he cheated

    9:06 – I can’t believe how STUPID some of these people running restaurants that think some person doing a made up eating challenge will catapult their business or somehow return on paying them to do so. Just f-in stupid.

    @9:06– if you’re gonnacall out “scumbag eaters”, at least call them out by name.

    Just because they don’t sign their lives away to MLE and kneel down in front of George Shea with their mouths wide open, doesn’t make them scumbags
