 Feeling hungry? In light of the October 23 release of Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution this week, the Major League Eating group, responsible for organizing most all stomach-centric sports event, is holding a spotlight event at the Nintendo World Store in New York. As it was previously announced, on October 27, the Rockefeller Center will be decked with anything and everything Naruto, from collectible card areas to video game stations.
The day's festivities start at 10 a.m. and will run through until 4 p.m., but the spotlight of the event is the World Ramen Noodle Eating Championship. There's going to be a mandatory chopsticks-only rule for the contest, and will feature some of the most notable celebrities in world of chow-down sports. Some of which include:
- 4th-ranked Tim "Eater X" Janus of New York City, the face-painting tiramisu champ who recently ate 20 pounds of grits in ten minutes
- Crazy Legs Conti, a man who once ate his way out of an 96-cubic foot box of popcorn, earning the nickname, "the Evel Knievel of the Alimentary Canal"
- Arturo "Grande" Rios, the 13th-ranked pigs' feet-eating champ from New Jersey
- best friend duo Eric "“Steakbellie" Livingston and Micah "Wing Kong" Collins
- 18th-ranked Justin Mih, a Harvard graduate student and chopstick specialist
Tiramisu face painting? Eating your way out of 96-cubic feet of popcorn? Yes, apparently, some people really take their eating of food seriously.
