I am coming back to the table with a vengeance and a new look. The occurrences in the last few weeks in competitive eating have quite possibly changed the course of the sport permanently. Joey Chestnut went ballistic in Las Vegas and ate 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes to light a flame on Kobayashi's ass. Since Chestnut's performance in Vegas it seems that everyone else on the circuit has been given a shot of adrenaline and 20 hot dogs is no longer the measuring stick by which to qualify with. There have already been 5 people to break the 20 hot dog barrier (and 1 to break the 30 hot dog barrier) and not qualify for Coney.
It's good to see the Americans taking things rather personal this year and I am excited to get back out there and improve on my weak Florida performance of 13.5 hot dogs. I am capable of many more hot dogs, I have proven it in practice, and I will be ready for this weekend at the Nathan's qualifier in Tempe, Arizona.
The following weekend, June 10, I will be in Las Vegas for an impromptu Grilled Cheese Competition and most likely I will be in Milwaukee on June 17th for a Bratwurst Qualifier. So, let's get it on!
