Glutton Bowl

[rchurchward]

Tonight at dinner, my room mate and I were discussing eating competitions. I never knew that the "Glutton Bowl" existed until I read about it online. Reigning Glutton Bowl Champion, none other than Kobayashi. Get this...

The competition was set up to have 3 rounds - the qualifiers, the wild card round, and the finals. In each round competitors were to eat the most of one specified food in a set amount of time. The winner of each qualifying competition was automatically in the finals. The runner up in each qualifier competed in the wild card round and the winner of that was the last person put in the finals.

The list of foods eaten in each round and the winning amount eaten are as follows (each competition was 12 minutes long):

Qualifying Rounds

* Hard-boiled eggs
-38 eggs

* Quarter-pound sticks of butter
-the winner at 7 sticks

* Whole beef tongue
- 3 lbs to each tongue
- winner ate 1 tongue plus a few bites of another

* Hot Dogs
- 31 hot dogs - bun and all

* Mayonnaise
- 32oz. per bowl.
- winner ate 4 bowls which is equivalent to 8 pounds of mayo

* Hamburgers
- 3oz. meat patties plus the bun (fast food type burgers)
- winner ate 11

* 15 foot, 12lb. sushi roll including 2 one foot long pieces of Wasabi
- 3.8 feet consumed by winner


Wild Card Round

* Cooked (but not fried) bull testicles
- 3lbs


Finals

* Cow brain (1/3 pound each)

Talk about disgusting.

Anything near your "area" should never be eaten.

The sad part is, he is doing this and probably making more money per year that we can imagine for a "Competitive eater"
