Redpac Eats Slow

I always thought that Redpac was a fast eater. Whenever I’d go out to eat with him he’d be done with his meal before I even had 3 bites of mine. He scarfs his food down without breathing and finishes it in record time.

Last year, Redpac entered an eating contest at a Chicago Wolves hockey game. The preliminary round had him eating Twinkies. He practiced for weeks, and on the night of the competition, he beat out the pack and made it to the finals. I wasn’t there so I didn’t get to see him in action.

The finals had him eating buffalo wings. He was up against the winners of the other rounds - they had eaten a variety of other foods, like donuts, bratwurst and jalapenos. As I looked at his competition, I knew Redpac was in trouble - these were some big guys. Then again, the world eating champion was this tiny Japanese guy, right? Maybe Redpac had a chance.

But as you can see from these videos, he had no chance. Either he was too slow or these double fisting bottomless pits were too fast. I vote for too slow - it felt like 10 minutes before he finished that first wing!

Part 2

He picked it up later on but the damage was done. However, he did finish with a respectable 27 wings eaten, and he placed in the middle of the bunch. If it was me, I would have finished about 6.

Youtube is fun. Expect to see more of my home videos in the upcoming months!

For the record I cam in 3rd with 27 wings. The only reason I didn’t eat more was the guy next to me beat me to 30. That’s all there was in the bucket. I also gave at least 50 pounds or more to the next smallest guy.

After the contest I finished off the 3 wings left in the bucket and had 2 hot dogs later in the game.

That did seem kind of slow. Maybe he was picking off ever last piece of chicken meat? And Dan, the 3 wings and hot dogs don’t count AFTER the contest’s over (evil grin).

Man, I still remember the time he finished his Jimmy John sandwich before I even finished unwrapping mine…

And I saw the guy that won at a game the next season… he’s biiiiig. I’m pretty sure he could’ve eaten me in 5 minutes.

Sonia the 90-lb Korean-American eating sensation from my neck of the woods could eat them all under the table! She wins pretty much every eating contest she enters, it’s crazy.
