  • {PDF EPUB} Eat This Book a Year of Gorging and Glory on the Competitive Eating Circuit by Alfred Ryan Nerz the Gagging and the Glory
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Eat This Book A Year of Gorging and Glory on the Competitive Eating Circuit by Alfred Ryan Nerz The gagging and the glory. Ryan Nerz spent a year on the competitive eating circuit -- land of therapeutic vomiting, esophagus control and "meat sweats." By Sarah Goldstein. Published April 19, 2006 11:30AM (EDT) Shares. It was while she was working at the Burger King on Andrews Air Force Base in D.C. that Sonya Thomas, an immigrant from South Korea, first got the idea that perhaps her staggering appetite was not an insatiable curse but a gift. Shocking her co-workers, the waifish 38-year-old would throw back 20 chicken nuggets, a Chicken Whopper, three orders of large fries, and a couple of Diet Cokes for her midday meal. It was abundantly clear to anyone who watched Thomas eat that her stomach was made for greatness. And so at the suggestion of friends, Thomas began to enter competitive eating contests. After an incredible first year -- she was named the International Federation of Competitive Eating's rookie of the year in 2003 -- she continued to break IFOCE records: 8.4 pounds baked beans, 2 minutes, 47 seconds; 161 chicken wings, 12 minutes; 11 pounds Downtown Atlantic Cheesecake, 9 minutes. Thomas -- aka The Black Widow -- is just one of the dozens of eaters that Ryan Nerz profiles in "Eat This Book: A Year of Gorging and Glory on the Competitive Eating Circuit," an exhaustive, sometimes disgusting, account of his year as an emcee of eating contests. Eaters range from the 100-pound Thomas to the 6-foot-6-inch, 440-pound New York City subway operator and amateur rapper Eric "Badlands" Booker, to 6-foot-8- inch, 406-pound Ed "Cookie" Jarvis, a successful real estate broker from Long Island.

  • National Hamburger Festival Draws Top-Ranked Major League Eaters to Akron
    18 East 41st Street, 15th Floor, New York, NY 10017 PRESS CONTACT: Alexis Schneider, MLE: (212) 352-8651 Drew Cerza, Festival Founder: (716) 479-6545 FOR RELEASE: NATIONAL HAMBURGER FESTIVAL DRAWS TOP-RANKED MAJOR LEAGUE EATERS TO AKRON 100-Pound Sonya “The Black Widow” Thomas To Challenge Reigning Champ, Akron Firefighter Matt Askea ______________ Sonya “The Black Widow” Thomas—at 100 pounds, the fourth-ranked eater and #1 female eater in the world—will descend upon the National Hamburger-Eating Championship at the Seventh Annual National Hamburger Festival in Akron, OH, to challenge reigning title-holder Matt Askea. For Askea, an Akron firefighter who faces danger on a routine basis, the August 19 showdown presents his toughest challenge yet. Askea ate 11 burgers in five minutes last year to earn the title of National Hamburger-Eating Champion. However, this year the National Hamburger-Eating Championship is open to amateurs and Major League Eaters, meaning Askea will face increased competition from a host of professional eaters, including Thomas, who has eaten 45 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes and 183 chicken wings in 12 minutes. “If Askea loses, his shame will be fertile ground for the seeds of self-doubt and recrimination,” said Major League Eating Chair George Shea, who will host the contest. “This is about more than money or titles. With Sonya Thomas headed to the National Hamburger-Eating Championship, Askea’s honor is at stake.” Thomas is the reigning Women’s July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Champion and five-time U.S. Buffalo Wing Eating Champion. She also is the jambalaya-, soft taco-, oyster-, crab cake-, cheesecake- hard boiled egg- and toasted ravioli-eating champion of the world.
