Does anyone know if that asian guy who comes every 5th at around 9pm is going to participate? I see him at Go Go every 5th close to closing. He always orders a grandslam and eats alone and finishes it in less than 5 minutes and walks out. Sometimes he even orders extra toppings. I’ve been going to Go Go for months and he ALWAYS comes every 5th around closing time. anyone know who this guy is? I think he can for sure beat Don. A grandslam with extra topping in under 5 minutes is a more impressive feat than 2 walks in 1 minute.

What was ugly or intimidating about that video?

I am intimately familiar with the reality of competitive eating and it’s dark side (my wife once was a competitive eater several years ago — she no longer competes).

Contests like this one can often be rigged and are done for promotional purposes only. I am sure Lerman was paid lots more than $100 bucks. If not, that’s pathetic. Its also pathetic that he stoops to “compete” in them.

By the way, my wife could have EASILY beaten the 1 minute mark in this endeavor. It really would have been no contest. Even now, with her being out of shape, she would have wiped his ass. SHould that interest you.

I have great respect for Don Lerman but seriously pros should not be allowed to participate in an event meant to be for mere mortals. It completely takes the fun out of the event. Would you want to compete against lebron james in Basketball for a prize? sure to say you did but do you have a chance of winning? no way in hell!

i think don should be able to participate as a celebrity or pro bracket and have the regular customers/participants in a seperate category. Truly unfair.

They had to edit it to fit in the 5 minutes of stellar graphics in the intro. Just disappointed they didn’t use a star wipe.

I call B.S.
Did anyone else see that editing cut made halfway through his first order? If he finished it in under a minute, why couldn’t they just play it unedited?
There is clearly a conspiracy between Go-Go and Lerman where they pay him $100 to eat in an edited video designed to scare off other competitors (which it clearly did) so they don’t have to fork out the $500 prize money.
I’ll take that fool down…
