Competitive Eating

Val Bromann - Competitive EaterI am, without a doubt, one of competitive eating's number one fans. Since my first live contest experience in 2007 I've watched and photographed over 20 professional eating contests. I've flown to New York four years in a row for the Nathan's Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest. I've driven three years in a row to Chattanooga Tennessee (a ten hour drive each way) for an eight-minute hamburger eating contest. Once I did the entire drive in under 36 hours. All through the night. By myself. I was interviewed for the reality TV show "I'm a Major League Eater" but alas, my part was cut (you can totally see me in the background though — I'm the crazy looking one). In April 2011 I stepped behind the plate to make my eating debut in the World Cupcake Eating Championship. I came in last place. What else can I say? I love competitive eating.
