// July 7th, 2009 // 16 Comments » // Announcements

I just received the latest leader board standings. If you’re currently at the top 20, you’ll find your name here. You should check back here every once in a while to see ff you get toppled from the standings, and if you do, that’s going to be entirely your fault so you have to join again and do something about it.

7-Eleven Big Bite Match Event

// July 6th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Announcements, Fun Stuff, Videos

Last July 4, 2009, at the Rockwell Tent, 7-Eleven officially launched the Big Bite Match. Even though I was late for the event, I still managed to have a great time. The food was free, the music was good, the show was awesome, Goose was incredible, and oh, the food was free. Man, the food was good, too. I missed quite a bit, but I was told there was some speed talking or something, and some guy in a hotdog costume, making jokes packed with hot-dog-esque innuendo. Now, that’s something every man needs to see at least once in his life.

Crowd

There were a lot of people at the event, mostly supporters and media, but because the space was pretty big, it didn’t feel too stuffy, and I wasn’t exchanging bodily fluids with strangers, thought that might actually be fun. Continue Reading

It warms my heart to see the nation’s most beloved athlete and his barely comprehensible trainer take my advice to heart and train like madmen. Here, check it out:

Looks like you’ve got some stiff competition, folks. If you want to win half a million pesos, you’d best be prepared for the fight of your life. From June 26 to August 15, it’s going to be a hot dog slugfest, people! Let the gastronomical war COMMENCE!

The EAT Is On Six Days A Week!

// June 30th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // Announcements

Due to popular demand, the 7-Eleven Big Bite Match is shifting its schedules. To make it easier for you guys to enter the contest, 7-Eleven has made this even 3.5 times longer by extending the contest into 6 day a week event instead of the original Friday-Saturday schedule. You may now test your gastronomical fortitude from Mondays to Saturdays, from 11AM to 6PM!

Wanna go during your coffee break? GO! Wanna go during your lunch break? GO! Wanna go in between classes? GO! Wanna go after hitting the gym? BY ALL MEANS, GO! More time means you can bring more people to join the contest with you! Wanna bring your dad who absolutely adores hot dogs but can never really justify eating five of them in a row? HE HAS A REASON NOW! Wanna bring your entire barkada to see which one does it the fastest? BRING EVERYONE! Make it a family event!

Also, you must pardon my weak pun-creating powers. I have yet to develop that ability.

Do You Have The Appetite?

Okay, people, I need you guys to ask yourselves something. Do you have the appetite to be part of this growing international sport? (Yes, I ripped that straight off the text message I got.) Anyway, if you do indeed have the appetite for it and for some juicy elongated meat products, then have I got the event for you.

JULY 4, 2009, SATURDAY, at the ROCKWELL TENT: This is where it all begins! Be there and bring your game faces because it is ON! It is so on! 7-Eleven, also known as the life saver of college students everywhere, unveils the biggest NATIONWIDE Competitive Eating battlefield in the Philippines- The Big Bite Match Hot Dog Eating Contest! I bet you can’t say that five times really quick with hot dog bits in your mouth. Yeah, didn’t think so.

My little sister, training me for the contest.

Hot Dog History

// June 22nd, 2009 // 4 Comments » // Fun Stuff

While we prepare ourselves for the gorge fest that we will thrust ourselves into on the 26th, I thought it would be nice to look back and see how our favorite meat product, the hot dog, came into existence.

Using my awesome google research skills, I have tracked down what seems to be the origin of the hot dog that we all enjoy today. Now, most of my sources (read: wikipedia) says that there is absolutely no way one can be sure of the exact origin of the hot dog because it is simply too awesome and awesomeness like that has no beginning and will definitely have no end.

Some of you might think that some time in the past, maybe around the 1930s, some guys got together and they found themselves faced with a conundrum.

Man 1: “What should we do with this huge sack of meat and this partially edible sack of intestine lining?”

Man 2: “Ooh, I know! Maybe we can stuff everything inside the other thing and see what happens from there?”

Man 1: “You’re an idiot. It won’t work.”

Man 2: “Sure it will. Here, give me that.” *stuffs meat into intestines* See?

Man 1: “OMG! You’re right! LOL! This roxxorz!”

Man 2: “But wait, that’s not all!” *whips out a piece of bread*

: The first meeting to create the most beloved meat product.

Dicky Fellow VS Katarina Haligi!

// June 16th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Announcements

Is there a sight more majestic than a girl eating a hotdog? Yeah- two girls, eating multiple hotdogs, in a heated battle royale!

It is my pleasure to give you the video documentation of this epic rivalry, the sultry Katarina Haligi going up against a very determined Dicky Fellow. Huge hotdogs will be swallowed whole! Sauce will splatter everywhere! Little bits of slightly digested bread will fly across the room at extreme velocities! All of this while these two vixens also try to have an eating contest. To me, this is just further proof that there is a divine being out there who loves me.

Without further ado, I now present to you Dicky Fellow VS. Katarina Haligi!

Settle your beef with meat! While humiliating your friends, and taking every little shred of dignity away from them, you could even win some money!

Will you be the next Duke of Degustation?

The time has come ladies and gentlemen.

In the same way that we have created a national pastime for eating, the supposition to turn The Act of Degustation into a competitive sport makes perfect sense. Today, we celebrate the launch of the country’s first Hotdog Eating Competition, a revelry of stuffing insane amounts of 7-Eleven hotdogs in the shortest span of time. The contest rules are clear and “D” Day (of course, “D” stands for Degustation) will commence on the 26th of June 2009.
