[QUOTE=Crucifist;1136882143]I stumbled on to his site by way of YouTube, where I saw him do a seven pound burrito. I was doing research for this...

I think I'm going to give it a shot some time in October or December, depending on my schedule. I've got a couple of guys who wanted to go with me to witness my attempt. I'm not doing the annual group challenge, just to clarify. I'm only interested in the standard eater vs. food version. I'll take any pointers offered.
Edit: No time limit as far as I am aware, though I will check before driving over. I think it's just a capacity challenge.[/QUOTE]
Happy for you to PM me for advice if you want my opinions

Can't wait for free ice cream for a year hahah!

[QUOTE=AlwaysTryin;1136766543]So do I.... :(
Sometimes[/QUOTE]
lol well if u start doing more frequent challenges u should start a channel too...im oddly obsessed with seeing food challenge videos (as long as they are fast forwarded or well edited)...not trying to watch 40 minute eating vid in real time lol
-
also that burrito is a great challenge. Thats serious value. Even if u dont finish it ure only out $17, looks messy though. The way they assembled it, not even trying to wrap everything up

Hey guys,
how does one train for a competitive eating contest? Don't say just eat..
Is there any techniques or things I should be doing on a regular basis? drinking liters of water or eating certain things to try and stretch my stomach?
I have done some goggling, and there's not much out there about "Competitive eating training"
Furious Pete is a beast!

I [B]think[/B] that people train for it by drinking lots and eating large low density meals to stretch.
Personally I've never done any training nor will I lol
-
IMO its more of a natural ability. Either you can put down a large amount of food in short amount of time without getting full/vomiting, or you cant. "Training" can enhance the ability, but its not gonna make you go from a regular dude to Joey Chesnut.

I've never done anything before, or the night before to "Stretch my stomach" or anything like that. Some of us are just volume eaters and can just handle large amounts of food naturally.

That was my thinking as well. Not too costly, not too far out of my way, and a food that I could enjoy in large quantities.

Enjoyment disappears, just like I mentioned in the PM to you then. It becomes bland and a pain to eat

while i must say your challenge i think i watched a while ago was surprising, your meal updates have always been of food that would literally be a thumbtack of satisfaction in my stomach (as far as quantity goes) -- in fact, I've always thought you eat way too LITTLE for your weight/goals etc.. But I do know your circumstances so obvi I'm not bashing.. just thought you implying you're a volume eater was a bit funny :) I'd go more along the lines of "the capacity to eat in volume when needed"... haha

This is true
I also echo the comments from Mitch about re being able to eat large amounts or not, it's not about training

This is something serious.. There is no way I could come anywhere close to handling that burrito!!!

Most of the stuff I actually post (picture wise) is just new creations that I whip up in the kitchen. ;)

Becoming a volume eater isn't just natural. You can easily train for it.
And competitive eating is plenty of skill or else Furious Pete wouldn't have been raped by Kobayashi.

Thats being nice too. Kobe destroys pete when they do that Pizza eating contest up in Canada.

[QUOTE=jubjubrsx;1136555213]thats crazy, that must of been one expensive bill. (i'm guessing each roll is roughly 8-12$)[/QUOTE]
actually... i dont know if you guys have it there in cali, but here in NYC, there have been a recent surge in "half priced rolls" restaurants...
we discovered one in 2007 and i could only stomache 4 rolls... 2013 and 50lbs lighter i'm doing 10 haha
so the bill wasn't all that high at $2.50 a roll.
i have a craving for sushi so i will take a pic and post on the MEN thread once that happens. maybe take a video (really bad quality so the 15 mins i spend enjoying my food will fit in terms of uploading the video) to prove it's all me haha

10 sushi rolls isn't many but, right?

This. Can smash a few dozen and still hungry

[QUOTE=AlwaysTryin;1138996493]10 sushi rolls isn't many but, right?[/QUOTE]
Although I love sushi and it ranks fairly high on my list of favorite foods, it is one of the least filling things I have ever eaten, and expensive to boot. If I'm paying, I can only afford to do an AYCE sushi buffet or special menu lest I end up gnawing my own arm off in hungry frustration or putting myself into massive debt.
-
[QUOTE=AlwaysTryin;1138996493]10 sushi rolls isn't many but, right?[/QUOTE]
I've never only eaten 10 rolls, even when it was only my appetizer.
On Labor Day, I went to a sushi place. The 110 lb girl I was with polished off a dozen and we had edamame as an appetizer. This is the same girl who I watch eat half an egg bagel and then say she is full... So 10 sushi rolls... Yeah...
-
^^^ in that case, not sure why that guy is going to video him eating 10 rolls

Is a roll considered the 6-8 half dollar sized pieces? Never eaten sushi crew
-
[QUOTE=MITCHAPAL00ZA;1139455403]Is a roll considered the 6-8 half dollar sized pieces? Never eaten sushi crew[/QUOTE]
i've always considered a roll 8 pieces and thickness is about thumb to middle finger. A maki roll about the thickness of a quarter(seaweed wrapped rice with a small piece of fish in the middle).

That would make more sense, but can you really get 8 pieces for $2.50? If so I need to find some of these places, but I guess that does make sense as a half dozen are usually $6-10. I dunno about terminology. I just order them by the half dozen and get a bunch of them.

They are about ~$3.50 for a roll here (6-8 pieces)
-
damn barely get maki in my area for 3.50 a roll...and I only live around 45-50miles from san francisco! an average roll (like a rainbow,spider,dynamite, ichiban I guess they are kind of specialty rolls) here costs about 9-12$ but a maki roll does range about 3-5$
sorry large picture alert.
but the sushi on top is a california roll looks like and the smaller ones are maki rolls, I wander if thats what he's getting for 2.50?
