Its about to Start! I hope I win this time!

update: ABout the Ketchup, some of you noted that I got called out for bringing Ketchup as a dunking agent by comentator, CrazyLegs Conti. I think he said something like "I'd have to question the strategy of eating MORE food..."

Because I couldnt be completely sure how dry the potatoes would be, I figured I'd keep it in reserve next to my water cups. The water was good enough to get the wedges down, and with 2 minutes left in the contest I started to dip every fouth wedge to combat the 'flavor fatigue' that was setting in.

Great call by Crazylegs though, I cant believe he spotted it from the broadcast booth!

I watched it when I got home from the Rutgers/USF game last night.

I was impressed with how much fun it was to watch!

Good luck next time!

P.S. No Ketchup! (Crazy Legs said so...)

What a blast! We sat right on the floor in front of the TV, like excited little kids. You rock!

How can anyone eat wedges without ketchup? Geesh...

Man, that was fun to watch! I recorded it so I can see it again.

Dude, Florida was pulling hard for Steakbellie. Can't wait to see the rest of the shows. El Toro sucks. Brutal.

Dude, the ketchup was a smart strategy. Like you said, it helped with flavor fatigue (a factor that is overlooked in a lot of contests).

I brought chocolate syrup to a vanilla ice cream eating contest and everyone thought I was crazy (the judges confiscated it because we weren't allowed to use any liquids). I think it would have helped a lot in the latter minutes.

J and I both thought the ketchup was a good idea. It's more of a liquid than a food, and potatoes can clog up your throat easy. Plus the whole flavor fatigue thing.

You were great on TV! Wished there were more interviews with eaters in general.
