A legend puts down the knife and fork

It is annoying, but I would have never thought of it if you hadn't brought it up!

This guy's Youtube channel is basically him beating restaurant challenges for free meals, cash, trophies, whatever. Things like humongous pizzas, 64 ounce steak and a couple of baked potatoes, stuff like that. This is just the most recent one up. Two gigantic breakfast burritos. His anaconda capacity is amazing. Those things have a lot of hash brown potatoes in them.

Spoiler. He does it, then eats dessert. Not kidding.

I wonder if these people have, or develop bulimic tendencies? They must get rid of the food/calories, or else I'd think they wouldn't all stay so small-/normal-sized.

Oh no question. Dooley was the master.

Post padding Olympics not a sport.

They have to be workout fiends because most of them are ripped.

I will fight you. Don't disparage @outofplace like that.

Didn't Kobayashi kind of "retire" from the Nathan's contest in the same way? I get the sense that while the Nathan's connection is great, at some point you feel its time to cash in and seek other opportunities - even if it doesn't allow you to compete in the Nathan's event. Similar to the MLS and past their peak soccer stars. Chestnut might just figure "its time."
Still, you'd think Nathan's would RELISH (hahahahahaha) the opportunity to host a Farewell event, even if that eater didn't think he'd win at this point in his career. Give more cred to the new Greatest Eater Alive having the former GEA raise his hand.

Nathan's Hot Dogs are shirt by the way.

YOU'RE shirt BY THE WAY!

Nathan's dogs are great. But just one, maybe two. The competitive eating thing is completely disgusting.

Indeed. I have the food tastes of a teenager but more than two or MAYBE three hot dogs in a single sitting sounds disgusting.
