Shoot. Reminds me of the guy who opened a resto and offered an all
you can eat baked stuffed shrimp dinner for x dollars. The biggest
guy in town waddled in ( we're talking over 400 lbs here) in and
downed 28 shrimp. Needless to say, THAT offer was deleted from the
menu.

I only read the first few, but some of those don't look too hard. A
28" pizza between 2 people in a half hour? And then the next one on
the list is the same size pizza to be eaten by one person.

I think I'll go for #1 first.

So what is the Professional Eaters Strategy the day before the event?
I know you're not supposed to attempt anything with an empty stomach.
Do you pig out 8-12 hours before the event to stretch out the stomach?
Or limit yourself to certain kinds of foods?

And can make a living off of being a "Professional Eater"? Sure would
save on groceries, but I assume there's an entry fee for many the
contests, and travel expenses. Not to mention hiring and agent and
publicist. Maybe it's an overlooked "profession" for a reason. Right
down there with "Professional Slot Machine Gambler".

What's a 'baked stuffed shrimp dinner' consist of?

And downing 28 shrimp/prawns is no biggie...... 28 single prawns anyway!!

must have been a small town. I've gone to the most expensive buffet
in town a couple times only to get their spicy kimchi soup when i have
a cold. Both times when I asked for the check the waiters look at me
in astonishment, "Soup. That all!?!?!?!?". And then I ask for some
to go and they happily give me a quart-size take-out container.

I was criticized for calling a Chinese dish, "lied Lice" here a while
ago and the Chinese have just as many harmless stereotypes about White
people as we do about them.

The Chinese possibly have a lot more stereotypes about us, there's a
heck of a lot more of them to work on it.

Agreed. But #72 is doesn't require eating tons of food and I love hot
peppers contests, that for sure is the one I wouldn't miss

Gluttony in a country with so abundant a food supply as the US has no
effect whatsoever on world hunger. In the US there is no concern
about what to eat, the concern is about what not to eat. The US sends
plenty of food etc. to the needy but unfortunately very little finds
its way to the hungry, most ends up in the bellies and pockets of
those few who can well afford anything they want. In the US no one
goes hungry unless they choose to. What's grotesque are contests that
pay some pinheads several millions of dollars a year to toss a ball
around and then yoose juvenile bastards pay hundreds of dollars to
watch while gorging on $10 tube steaks

Dictatorships -- communism -- hunger.

Democracy -- capitalism -- eating contests.
