From July 3, 2004, prior to Nathan's at the ESPN Zone in NYC, L-R is Dale Boone, Nobiyuki Shirota, "Cookie" Jarvis, Kobayashi, and I. Shirota is as nice of a guy as Kobay, and he at 38 HDBs in his first and only Nathan's finals.

"Eater X" continues to impress in virtually all contests he enters. He's in demand by the fans wherever he goes. Here he is during the Crab Cake competition in Baltimore during 2006. |
With friend Dave "Coon Dog" O'Karma in Buffalo from 2004.
Dave is one of the best pure speed eaters I know! He is also a renowned chef. Dave and I, along with Jed Donohue, appeared on the Steve Harvey show in 2003, during which Jed consumed Jalapeno Peppers, Dave ate Doughnuts (Krispy Kreme), and I ate Hard-Boiled Eggs ... what a fun time! |
That's Ray "The Bison" Meduna, a tremendous eater, a great guy, and a top-notch competitive eating judge! |
Here's the "first couple" of competitive eating: the ageless ones, Rich and Carlene LeFevre. They are both youngsters masquerading as mature adults--or is it vice-versa. Rich and Carlene are among the elite who represent the best our sport has to offer.

From late 2005, appearing at Champs Sports Bar on the the local CSN channel, getting ready to eat some Wings with Redskins' LE, # 97, Renaldo Wynn. Last year he and teammate Randy Thomas toured many eateries in the DC area, striking fear in the hearts of the restaurant owners. |
From December 2004: Celine and her entourage were most friendly to me, as was Jay Leno and the NBC staff.

With Pickle Champ and Competitive Eating Web site extraordinaire "Beautiful" Brian Seiken during the 2005 US Open of Competitive Eating in Las Vegas. Brian's site has recently become "Widow"-free. This will enable him to have more time to cover those great and up-and-coming eaters who don't get so much publicity. Brian has a heart of gold and I wish him the best ... always.

With members of the University of Virginia Football Team from 2004.

Middle school chums in my home country of South Korea.

I'm proud of my Korean heritage, but I was most honored to become an American citizen. |
