As you all know, typhoon Ondoy stopped the last finals and it really tested the Filipino resilience. That said, I’m proud of you guys for pulling together and helping each other out. The Filipino spirit really does shine brightest when times are darkest. Now, it’s time to see whose eating fighting spirit is the strongest!
FINALLY! The day you have all been training and waiting for has arrived!
Save the date, guys- NOVEMBER 14, 2009, at 5 PM, in SM Mall of Asia! Time to see whose gastronomic prowess reigns SUPREME!
As we await the latest updates to our contest, I thought it would be a good time to show you yet another video. Last week, I posted part 1 of the vids, which featured RacingQueen, Inc. The researchers eventually found another video from RacingQueen, Inc. These people seem to really love what they do.
The video was uploaded by a guy who calls himself admiralangelo.
I can’t really tell who or what RacingQueen, Inc. does but I imagine it would be quite different from DancingQueen, Inc. As far as I can tell, it’s a group of people who race each other at everything. If they have a video of them racing down a hill, running backwards, that’d be cool.
The video is pretty quiet, except for the occasional laughter and encouragement. It’s got some pretty standard stuff and some solid techniques you might pick up on. The guy in a faded red (okay, it’s pink) shirt finished his set of dogs faster than his Filipino companions. Everyone was kinda behind him throughout the whole thing. One even went so far as to think it would be quite encouraging to shout out “Wow! That was fast!”
Most Hilarious Moment: At the very end of the video, the guy in the blue jacket does a double take after seeing Mr. Pink Shirt has devoured his dogs.
The competition is heating up and it is getting extremely intense. To cleanse our palettes a little bit, I decided to just do something for fun here for a change. Let’s all cool our heels and enjoy looking at cute animals, such as this one, while we learn more about our hot dogs.
We’re rolling into the second update of our competition and it looks like a whole lot of you have stepped up their digestive game. We’ve got a new top dog with an amazing time, toppling our number one contender from last week. We also have a number of new entrants into the top 20, all with incredible, borderline inhuman eating times. Before we move on with the list, I want to remind all of you that this is far from over, these are just the current standings as of July 13, 2009. You still have until August 15, 2009 to reach the top 20 or get a higher rank to ensure yourself a spot.
Edit: This list has been updated. Again. Thanks, guys.
I’ve been searching around the internet for hot dog eating techniques and I think I may have found something that might help those who want to join the contest. It is apparently known as the Japanese hot dog eating style, maybe because the Japanese originated it, like most things in this world. I am really trying to not sound accidentally racist here.
As we know, right now the top two hot dog eating champions are Joey Chestnut and Kobayashi. These guys are legendary, yeah, but Kobayashi isn’t the only Japanese professional eater. One of whom is Gyaru Sone, a cute 95 pound girl. Read more about her here. These guys are definitely much smaller than their Western counterparts, but they still dominate? Of course, training, physical conditioning and discipline all help, but read on to learn a technique they utilize. Not only does it make scientific sense, it’s practically proven in its effectiveness.
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.
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. (more…)
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!
Hey guys, it’s me, Bim, world renowned meat product enthusiast. To help you prepare for this upcoming battle of gastric prowess, I would like to show you the secrets of my success. Unveiled for the very first time is Bim’s hotdog eating contest training regimen!
The first thing you have to remember is that you have to be dedicated. Dedication is everything. Without dedication, your hard work will be for naught! My training is simple, but you have to keep at it. Here’s a step by step breakdown:
In the next few weeks, we will be uploading videos of people from around the country who want to take that one shot to fame and fortune.
