I have eaten 47 ears of corn in 12 minutes and 61 donuts in one bike race. I know what my stomach can do. Now the job is knowing what's worth eating.
The competitive record
Contest wins, 2012 to 2017. 6 Nathan's Famous qualifier wins, a cannoli title at the Feast of San Gennaro, a Hooters world wing qualifier and the National Sweet Corn Eating Championship, set at a world record at the time. Ranked #11 in the world in 2017.
Every eating result
Recurring franchises
One category, every serious contender, one ranking. It starts where my stomach has the most proof: energy chews, electrolyte drinks, recovery snacks, race-day fuel. Then grocery staples, chain icons and new launches, judged on taste, value and whether I'd finish it if nobody was paying.
The strangest thing on the shelf, the menu or the farm stand. Bought, prepared properly and eaten on camera, with an honest verdict.
How the stomach actually stretches, why water training works, what a hot dog in 10 minutes costs the body, and the food science behind the spectacle.
It's a race against your body.

If curling and bowls are sports, then so is competitive speed eating.
