How many BBQ ribs can you eat?
I guess I’m only slightly surprised that there is an organization called the I.F.O.C.E — The International Federation of Competitive Eaters Association. The upcoming Smokin’ at the Ocean BBQ Fest is adding a number of eating related competitions to its normal round up of BBQ cookoff events. The leading contender for the Competitive Rib Eating Championship seems to be IFOCE member Richard “The Locust” LeFevre:
LeFevre is the number three competitive eater in the world and ate more than 5 pounds of birthday cake in only 11 minutes on May 10, 2005. Last year, local favorites Scott “The Pork Slayer” Sayer of Albany, and Tom Jones of Mulino went on to challenge the professionals. This will be their third year in the eating competition and they’re getting themselves in shape for the contest.
You view the full results on the I.F.O.C.E. website, apparently this is a particularly challenging event:
“The rib, the most elegant of the debris foods, presents a distinct challenge to all eaters,” said George Shea, chairman of the IFOCE. “This event requires jaw strength, stomach capacity and sturdy orthodonture.”
