For those that didnt get a chance to watch my record breaking  13 pattty VIDEO in 5:30  at Five guys burgers and fries, its still up there on
youtube.. The corporate offices claim that they dont promote eating challenges or contests for as you know i have been making up my
own paid challenges of late. Doesnt make much sense now does it? Brian Dudinski was the previous record holder  at 5:40  last month  at
a similar joint in PA called BRGR.  However Brians burgers had bacon and mine did not. If you want to get technical Brian Dudzinski  holds
the 13 patty  Bacon and cheese burger record and i guess i hold the plain patty and some cheese record. I spoke to Brian the other day  
and he basically took it all in stride. Brian is vacationing but when he gets a chance he will check out the video. As a sort of passing the
torch gesture on my part, the winner of the MLE Pickle eating contest in Fla will be presented with my personally autographed   official bib
which i wore in 2002 after winning the Carnegie Deli pickle eating contest. I wore the bib while i was competing . I believe some of the
pickle juice stains are still visible. Here is a
PICTURE  I will either mail it to the winner or present it in person. Good luck. .

.. Dallas Tortilla  has told me repeatedly that she is frustrated about not losing weight but she looks perfectly fine to me. Very attractive woman .
For those of you that think otherwise and have your eyes set on the one sitting down forget about it for thats her daughter If you care to match
the voice with the face FF the
YOUTUBE video to the 6 min mark. Nothing more soothing to the ears than to hear the voice of  a latin woman with
a southern accent. . Will Millender is flying out to Michigan in an attempt to reconcile with his new love
BIANCA . The other day he was ready to
go off the deep end claiming it was over. I wonder if this had anything to do with him not removing the pic of her that she didn't care for from his
photo page . Jessica Abdul says she prefers not accepting invites to restaurants because her friends might think its awkward to eat while
someone (her) else isnt. Sounds very much like the # 5 ranked eater in the IFOCE. I prefer not eating with other people for fear they might
accidentally spit in my food while chatting. I witnessed that on several occasions with competitive eaters which i why i ate at a private table.  
Check out Jessica 14 min interview on front page..If you notice someone else picked up the tab.  Doesn't  she remind you of your typical SF
space cadet or what? She is still a good kid  and acts more mature than some other women twice her age. Reminds alot of my cousin who lived in
SF  when she was around her age back in 1970
Sept 4
I have come to the conclusion that George Shea mission in life was to become an actor. After viewing the pre buffet bowl ceremonies he spent
nearly 15 min reviewing the worst downloaded songs of the past 30yrs which included Betty Davis Eyes, Seasons in the Sun and tunes from Dan
Fogelberg. Understand that Buffalo is considered a dead ass town and George Shea taking the stage is like having Sinatra or Elvis perform in
your own backyard . And now the intros Wild Bill looks so huge he had trouble making his way to the stage. Hes basically there to get the stats
right or certain eaters that finish out of the money will inflate their totals.  US Male also looks like he needs to drop a few . George just announced
Booker at 420???. Chestnut isnt eating but judging . Looked like he packed on a few also. The menu is as follows. Shredded pork, chicken wing
meatballs, Bacci pizza and canoli's. My man Pat Bertoletti wins Buffet bowl. Sonya 2nd . Waiting on close call between Brian Subich and Jim
Reeves for 3rd.  Final results in Pat B 7lbs  Sonya 5.86  Reeves 3.96  Subich 3.09 . Brian had 3rd locked up and gave it one hell of a push but
Reeves came back like a thoroughbred in the back of the pack to close at the wire. Reports out of Buffalo that Badlands Booker and Bryan Beard
were bitching that one of them should have gotten 4th place instead of Brian Subich. Honestly , does it really matter? I could see the other guy
bitching cause hes trying to make a name for himself but  I never thought i would ever see the day when Booker would question his placing in a
contest when no money was involved. Shredder used to be notorious for that.. . Where the hell was Wild Bill and his trusty stat sheets? I guess
Badlands should start thinking about renaming his new CD Stick to rapping !  Just kidding  the big guy still has the potential to  knock off 3/4 of
the table on any given day. Wing contest should be interesting tomorrow.
Sept 5
So it appears now that someone f---k'd  up the weighing process in Buffalo. This is one of the reasons why i dont bother with that contest anymore.  Not only am i made to
look bad competing  but the same applies reporting the accurate figures. It appears that after weighing the Buffalo Bowl remains a second time, a slew of eaters had less
debris in their trays than Subich. Whoever f--kd  up  be it Shea or the person in charge of weighing , either could care less  because the payouts were 1st 2nd 3rd. After
that its all about pride and nothing more. Jessica Abdul completed the Hellfire Hot wings challenge  consuming 12 habaneros in 10 min. The worst part about this challenge
is that you cant use beverage and you have to  survive a 5 min afterburn before being declared the winner. For all that life threatening aggravation the best they can do is
a teashirt ?  Keep it .  I spoke to Jessica after the challenge and she claims she would never do something like that again. Her hands were burning all night, couldnt sleep
for hours and felt as though her stomach lining was eroding.  I personally think they should offer these wings as a last meal for prisoners waiting on death row. . I was
offered a chance to try  something similar at Buffalo Cantina in  Brooklyn earlier in the year but at least they allowed liquid. This is totally insane.  If i attempted that
challenge i would have been room temperature. Sonya Thomas sets world record in Buffalo Wings with 4,86. Joey Chestnut 2nd 4,55. Bryan Beard  3rd 2.89  Badlands
finally gets his 4th place just due with 2.84. Remember Badlands was the Buffalo wing champion in 2005 so he couldn't just walk away without showing the crowd some of
his champion skills.After a brief grilling from George Shea Bryan Beard told George Shea he is a bouncer by trade. Well ill be darned  we both share the same physical
attributes, Sexy & Beautiful , same  first name minus the Y and the same occupation but five years before you were conceived .I see many of you are still visiting
eatfeces.com who deliberately tried to make me and Subich  look bad by posting Wild Bill Myers  inaccurate totals for the Buffet Bowl. In other news relating to the Wingfest
in Buffalo i received an email earlier asking why i was never asked to perform  Elvis or any of the tracks off my first and last CD Stick to Blogging ? Very simple answer to
that. The Shea brothers especially George,  dont   find any of that music entertaining or else i would be booked for  most of the MLE events. My suspicions were confirmed
in Sept 2009 during a benefit  honoring George Shea & Coney Island.in NYC. A very unsober Dave Baer  who seems to be in love with my work, approached George that
evening "I want BB on stage now,  do it for me George" George looked at him as though Dave might have had one two many and practically dismissed the CD like a
Frisbee.  They like Booker , they like the rap music  hopefully they have made a profit on it and i wish them well . In the battle of the Male man and the Gentle Giant , US
Male edged Subich 2.6 to 2.4 in Wings. Checked out Sonyatheblackwidow.com  praise for the people of Buffalo and how she welcomes them with open arms. Is it the open
arms that she welcomes or all inclusive hotel and airfare accommodations that are provided to her each year she defends her title. Regardless she is the champ so with all
due respect she deserves it.
Sept 6
It appears that Brad Scuillo has forgotten about Furious Pete for the time being and set his sights on a new love interest ,
Marina. I dont know anything about her except for the pic i found of her kissing his cheek. Wow and all this time i thought all he
cared about was food.
Sept 7
Former competitive eater Leon Justice Feingold  pitched for the VA Cardinals this past weekend in Richmond
VA. This
VIDEO shows some dude that plays for the Raanana Express  slamming a homerun off him .  Leon
also ate 6 shnitzels during the shnitzel awards in Aug 2007. Check out the
VIDEO  of that . Pickle competitors
take heed. If the sponsor provides you with those horrible tasting dills from the jar like B&G or Vlasic  then you
are not really considered a true pickle champ. You might put up 4 or 5 lbs but the real deal is the crunchy
Gabila  sour garlic dills  which are practically all salt and water. Those kind of pickles gave Jarvis and myself
shitfits at the Carnegie Deli back in 02 and 04 .  You have to experience Niagra Falls when all is said and done
or its a tainted victory as far as im concerned and as far as Cookie is concerned.
Sept 8
Brian Dudzinski has Cancer. I realize that cancer can strike anyone at any age but  to have to deal with this at the age of
25 is just not fair. This is not new news for i believe he has had it for awhile after it was brought to my attention through his
FB page  that he is undergoing chemotherapy. I have no idea what type of cancer Brian is being treated for but i did
overhear him mention chemo treatments in conversation with Allen Goldstein during the claim eating contest in May. I had
no idea he was referring to himself. Brian is a real class act and a good guy. My thoughts and prayers go  out to him and i
am confident he will lick it
Sept 9
In regard to the Buffalo wing contest the other day  a fan of the site  brought some interesting news to my attention. The wings were sitting
on the table for at least 20 min which allowed them to get cold. Just before the contest Joey and Sonya's wings were brought out as soon
as they were introduced keeping them nice and warm. Not that it would have made a difference because Joey or Sonya would have won
anyway, but it certainly inflated their totals over everyone else.
SUN SENTINEL  in Fla  mentions the field of eaters for the Sept 12 pickle
eating contest. It also mentions the record amount 2.7 in 6 min but fails to mention the record holder. Was that deliberate or what? More
than likely he got the info from the MLE website which has a name attached to the record .
Let us take a moment and reflect on 911 and the many lives that were lost in that unnecessary tragic event at the hands of terrorists.I
remember being contacted by George Shea several weeks prior asking if i would be interested in competing in the Glutton bowl.  I
heard from FOX a week later and never heard from them again. Not sure of the exact date but they guys were scheduled to fly out to
:LA  the week of Sept 10th . After all the airlines were shut down and people just plain scared to fly anywhere, i figured the Glutton bowl
was off. I found out several weeks later that most of the eaters picked for the Glutton bowl flew out there anyway.  Jammin Joe Larue
informed me that he registered for the MLE Brat contest at 11:a,m and has yet to hear back from them. He feels that since the contest
is being held in his own backyard he should be at that table . Joe if anyone is pulling for you its yours truly but i dont think its going to
happen. Some including Joe have also voiced their opinion about MLE shafting me because i wasnt flown out to Fla and that there was
no need to run this event etc etc. Listen , they preserved the title for 6yrs which i appreciate. They could have screwed me all these
years running a pickle contest at an earlier time and date with Joey Sonya and the rest of the bunch putting me on the spot. I hold no
animosity in that regard. One other thing , nobody said i was banned from entering this event so i basically had every opportunity to
defend my title. However the airfare and hotel were the stickling points and i dont want to rehash. The only problem i have at this point ,
is that if now is the ripe time for a new pickle champ , what about bologna & beans? Is MLE going to preserve those titles forever?
Whats fair is fair

When i post something about someone on facebook or on this site for that matter and people take it out of
context , thats their problem. Its never meant to be hateful or derogatory by any sense of the word but others
seem to take it the wrong way. Several IFOCE members found some of my FB remarks and commentary on
this site  somewhat offensive when in my opinion i was basically stating the truth. Both members dropped me
from FB and i couldn't be more thrilled about it. Next time get a sense of humor or dont bother with me at all. I
dont do apology emails  for two reasons. 1. i run the risk of being ignored which would make me feel like more
of an ass  2. There is nothing to apologize for . On to pickles . It appears that Vlasic sour dills were used for
the contest. Vlasic is a grade above B&G and that isn't saying very much. The real sour garlic dills are grown
from the vine and fermented during the summer months . A true test of endurance is when you are able to
consume 5 or more lbs of those which is virtually impossible. Nonetheless  great job by Pat Sonya Bob & Hall
because anything over 3lbs deserves a heap of credit.
Sept 14
San Gennaro 9th annual  Canoli Contest will take place on Sept 16th in Little Italy.. I competed in 4 out of 9 and
by far the one that stood out the most was the 2004 battle for 3rd place between Goldstein and Conti. They
went three grueling OT rds before Goldstein was victorious.  Speaking of Canoli, i am sure everyone
remembers  this
VIDEO  when i appeared on Larry Hoff show back in Sept 2007. promoting the 6th annual
contest . Not a very memorable moment as i was beaten by the cameraman two young daughters in a mock
canoli eating contest.
Sept 16
Sonya Thomas appeared on FOX NEWS  after her outstanding record setting chicken wing victory in Buffalo last week.
Lets hope this is one link that selfish eatfeces wasn't able to obtain . When i heard the site suffered a temporary crash i
was praying it  would hopefully be the end but unfortunately it was up and running several hours later  
Sept 18
Before the Cannoli contest Crazy Legs had his usual film crew following him around like a celebrity. Do you know how
many film crews have followed him around over the past 6yrs? Remember he is still under contract with oyster
productions whatever that is.  Most of the time you never get to see the footage or maybe all that footage is part of a 7yr
documentary on the magic man in the flesh. US Male was basically made to look like a second rate citizen before the
event. Hardly anyone paid attention to him. With no prize money at stake many eaters especially the ones that live quite
a ways from NYC ,  have finally come to realize that making the journey to compete  is pointless. BB Blog is back. Feel
free to leave any comments your little heart desires. I dont screen the comments but i do draw the line on vulgarity. You
can use profane language but dont get too nasty or i will remove it. Just got word 42 brats for Joey Chestnut in Cinn
winning the Brat title. Speaking of Brats and Cincinnati.  i cant divulge the info but lets just say Jammin Joe has been
officially banned from MLE permanently. An undisclosed source took care of that situation last week . The newly crowned
Cannoli Champ seems to have made some new friends. Michael Corleone  brother in law Carlo played by Gianni Russo  
whom he whacked in Godfather 1  returned from the dead to make a brief cameo at the San Gennaro festival . In this
 
PICTURE  Carlo is posing with the new champ. He seems to have aged well and looks good for 67 . If this pic was taken
before Male won the Canoli title he must have made Russo an offer he couldn't refuse . For some of you that feel the
need to eavesdrop on Furious Pete and his bodybuilding.com buddies you can check out this
FORUM where he usually
hangs out. It appears that he is headed to Vegas for the Mr Olympia contest. I doubt he is competing. Probably just a
spectator  but you never know
Sept 19
I warned everyone about this guy but they just  turn the other cheek unless they happen to be the one on the receiving end
of his insults. What does that tell you about Badlands, Chestnut,  Shredder, Pretty boy & Crazy Legs just to name a few.? It
means that all of the names mentioned will talk to anyone and anything as long as your venom is not directed towards them
or family members. Good thing his camera ran out of gas or i would have added George Shea and Eater X to the list.  That
just plain sucks. You cant help but get the feeling when watching those interviews that some of them are saying to
themselves.  "Well he's fuckin with you and not me so thats your problem"  . Some IFOCE members added him on FB yet?
Well now he found a new target to mess with , the newly crowned cannoli eating champ US Male Goldstein. Give the guy a
break the cannolis have yet to be fully excreted from the spackles in his anal wall and the last thing he needs is this parasite
busting his chops. Read the
EATFECES COMMENTS and you will agree that this particular individual should think twice
about crossing paths with Mr Male.
Sept 20
Princess Jessica posted her youtube  VIDEO  in which  she completed the Lumpy's diner 5lb burger challenge in
Antioch CA on Sept 9th . The song playing in the background sounds very familiar
Sept 22
Micha Wing Kong Collins will defend his Upper Crust Pizza title in Boston Mass on Sept 25. The Goldstein cousins wont be there .
Shredder text US Male and told him "see you at Nathans in June" . I guess that tells the story on his competitive eating future. Speaking
of the contest some that competed last year claim the pizza tastes like sh--. I just cant believe someone could fu-- up the taste of a pizza
pie unless the cheese is 100 yrs old. . Tim Gravy Brown will eat as many snackcakes as possible while running an 8 minute mile  on a
treadmill . The event will be
SIMULCAST over the world wide web on Sept 22 at 12 noon pacific time
Sept 23
Looks as though the  revival of realeaters.com blog  is really taking off. Thanks to eatfeces.com,  I have a grand total of three regular
visitors. Gavonne, Don Lerman and CE fan. With that kind of fan base how can i go wrong? . Matter of fact  i should soon  soar to the
top of the CE  search engines in no time.
Sept 25
Congratulations to Gentleman Joe Menchetti in successfully defending his Chef one dumpling title for the 6th consecutive year  in Queens NY.
Menchetti ate 55 in 2 minutes.  Although the contest was never sanctioned by the IFOCE it has drawn alot of attention and gained some notoriety
over the years. Of course its not in the ballpark with Nathans but it certainly reigns supreme over Carnegie pickles and Cannoli's because it not only
pays out three money slots including $1000 to the winner. Menchetti only regret is that the contest has yet to draw the likes of Takero Kobayashi
whom he thinks he has a shot of beating in a short heat. I have to admit that a Kobe appearance would surely put the event over the top as far as
huge draws.  The event even  has a mens and womans division. similar to the separation of male and female seating in the  orthodox synagogues on
the holy holidays. There was some tension before the event as Menchetti claims to have been blackmailed by an undisclosed source claming that if
he showed up to compete in the event , this individual would immediately report to his wife that he had oral and anal sex with a low level female eater. I
wonder who that might be? Another reason for the blackmail had to do with Menchetti refusing to join his fanclub. . Apparently the individual that made
the threat had the balls to interview him yet. I cannot even put this into words because i am so flabbergasted with disbelief.  In the 32 second
VIDEO it
appears as though Menchetti is trying to hold back his rage citing an old Honeymooner episode with Ralpn and his mother in law.  "Pins and needles
needles and pins its a happy man that grins .  Towards the end of the video he is overheard saying "Joe i got nothing against you i have my own
problems" Menchetti replies "thats obvious" Menchetti claims that the only thing that held him back from putting his fist in his face was that the camera
was directly pointing in the Gentlemans face. You be the judge What sort of upset me was Will Millender comment on his FB page getting down on
himself for what he considers  a lackluster performance on his part. "I am no longer good at the one thing i  thought made me interesting " Since Sept
25 is basically Joe Menchetti day resting on the heels of his big victory in dumplings and the rebroadcast of my PPV show in 2007 which paid a grand
total of $9 , many have asked why Menchetti decided to pull the plug on eatfeats in early 2006. According to Menchetti  he felt he could never live
down the comment made about Rich Shea and that  Nathans crap. If you were part of the scene back then you know exactly what im referring to. If not
i have no patience to rehash. .
Sept 27
I am sure most of you know by now that Brad the Lunatic has a new love and her name is Marina. She resembles someone that sent
me an email a few months ago with a bunch of provocative photos (not naked)  but close. Text attachment read something like I
would like to meet good man spend time with make man happy. I deleted that sh-- faster than Kobe consumes a hot dog. Its obvious
Brad met her on the internet and with a name like Marina she must be from the soviet union. Whether she needs Brad to become a
citizen of the US is undetermined at this point but it wouldnt surprise me one bit. Now heres the deal , if Brad is indeed in love then
that might damage his eating career. Being bitten by the lovebug can cause damaging repercussions if you know what i mean. Not to
mention the fact that she has to sit through some of his dangerious training methods like chugging more than 2 gallons of water in a
few minutes. Would she have the sense enough to call 911  in case he needs to go to the hospital? Then again  a new love in the
lunatics life might be just what the doctor ordered if he intends on beating Furious Pete  which so far has yet to happen. Brian
Dudlight Dudzinksi  receieved  the standard IFOCE contract through the mail . He is contemplating whether or not he should sign it. I
told him to sign it  because basically  it solidifies his status as a full fledged member and a possible top 25 ranking. The contract
basically protects the IFOCE in case they throw you out for partcipating in a non sanctioned event and you decide to take legal
action against them. Aside from that i doubt they would  ask for a cut from some chump change sponsor you decided to do business
with. They would be better off getting rid of you and forget you ever existed.
Sept 29
Good News for all eating fans of MLE. Brian Dudlight Dudzinski  signed a 3yr deal with MLE . Now of course most you of are aware
that the term three year deal means big bucks in other sports but with MLE its just a figure of speech. Another Brian (subich)  took
my same  advice in 2004 and has not stopped thanking me ever since. I am sure we have all had our ups and downs with the
organization but lets face it there is no other table i would rather be than MLE. And thats for the RECORD! Poor little Princess
Jessica froze her ass off attempting and failing  the Kitchen Sink ice cream challenge for the 9th time . You could swear by the layers
of clothing she wore. that she was either in Alaska or the temperature in CA was 50 below zero
