Woman eats brats!

For the last 2 years, I watched this woman go up against the best at the 4th of July hotdog eating contest at Nathans at Coney Island (reruns - I just saw the 2nd performance last week. The winner both years is a Japanese man, can't think of his name, but it was really amazing how much he could eat.

It's really incredible, she once ate something like 9 pounds of CHEESECAKE in just a few minutes.

I don't understand either how some competative eaters stay so thin.

I wonder what their practice routines are?

My initial reaction was that it was so disgusting, eating all that food, so quickly, people starving, etc.

But when you really start thinking about it, it is a very difficult thing to do.
There was a cometitive eating contest show after the rerun of the Nathans competition, and one of the competitors was someone who had been/was a baseball player, sorry don't remember.

After a while, I really started to admire some of the competitors ability.

Still, I worry about the health risks - You can be thin and have health issues, and frankly, many of these people are well, "slightly large"

Does anyone know any more about this?

Im one of the 100 million or so Americans who, when reading your headline, immediately thought that this woman ate her misbehaving kids.

It's got to be that they have a high metabolic rate. I'm like that due to a malfunctioning thyroid. I've been about 122 pounds for most of my life.

My wording of that headline was entirely accidental...... really! :wink:

I thought she ate her kids too...

usually a few days before the eatathon most competitive eaters practice eating a lot of food to stretch their stomachs out, that way they can fit more in on the day of competition.

Ive watched that japanese guy at the nathans compitition too.... holy crap, the mans like a machine. I wanna be japanese, they do everything better than us. Even gourging down hotdogs.

OHOH, and the questiong isnt how do they get all that food in them... its how the heck do they get it all out? seems like a stopped up situation to me.....

yeah Breathe I was thinking they must just hurl afterwards, I wonder if you wait for a half hour or something if that would disqualify you.

Did you notice they even have a name for that manuver that Japanese guy does eating the buns and dogs separately and dipping the buns in water first

it's called "The Jananesey"

OK fans, Eater X (really that's the name this one eater has given himself) is downing his 29th and30th hotdog, I don't think he could keep up this pace without doing Jananesey.

they are smarter, faster, cooler.... AND they have their own hotdog eating move. we are SUCH losers. lol.

someone should do some eating contests in japan so we can have the americanesey.

yeah, i do know there is some throwing up rule... has to be after a certain amount of time....

I bet you can toss the cookies anytime there are no cameras around

Hope beats eternal....

god I know, I'm getting madder and madder just thinking about it....

It's not just the Jananese though you know.....
Everyone in Europe basically is better than us......

and they keep throwing in out faces every single day by reminding us that they eat so much more fat than us but stay thin, their face creams and lotions make their women look so much better than ours, and both men and woman can have affairs and don't have to suffer the guilt that we do.

I am getting so depressed just thinking about it.

We need to do something like,....like,.....Oh i don't even know - we can't do anything!

I'm gonna go to walmart and buy some stretch pants and a t-shirt that says "hot mama"

How about a invade and decimate a country contest? That'll show those candy asses who's boss.

yeah!
don't let anyone from anywhere else on this thread so we can plan our tactics.

even those canadians - they just think they're so much better than everybody else.

im still floored with the idea of Eating as being competitive????
where did THAT come from?

didn't you know? that's what all the cool kids are doing.

god shewolf - get with the program or we're not gonna let you sit at our lunch table anymore.

Seriously - I don't know really, but apparantly it's getting big (no pun intended)
I was even reading this novel the other day where CompEat (I just made that up, I'm so clever) was part of the plot. Whenever the characters ran out of $'s they would send their ringer into restaurant, and they would hustle the crowd, taking bets.

I kin eat 50 hardboiled eggs at one sitting

pickled? and how many blue ribbons can you wash 'em down with?

He was doing a bad job of quoting Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke . . .


I can eat fifty eggs . . .

i have heard of eating competitions... i just find it.. rather.. wierd?

hehe.. ME.. thinking something is wierd.
Oh thats a riot

i once ate a lot of chocolate and it made me happy. there should be chocolate eating contests, all over the world, then even the losers would feel good.

shewolfnm!!!! your quote makes me want to cry! i love it!
