The 2020 Major League Eating Season kicked off with a bang down in New Orleans with the inaugural Blue Runner Red Beans and Rice Eating Championship!
This was a super fast food, where technique gets overshadowed by pure capacity and there was a loaded field of the best eaters in the world! Each 10 oz. bowl contained 8 oz of red beans and 2 oz of rice and eaters were given 8 minutes to eat as much as possible.
Despite my disappointing performance, this was an awesome way to kick off the eating season, spending the weekend down in the big easy with a bunch of my friends running the Rock n' Roll marathon the next day. Thanks for watching!

![Tom and Chee Redux Challenge
Since we were going to Nashville for the Lions vs. Titans game in December, I snuck in a small, quick challenge on the way into town. Ive actually done this one waaaaay back when I was just getting started! So this was a nice revisit to see how far Ive come in 4 years of competitive eating.
Original Attempt:

The Tom + Chee Bakers Dozen Challenge is pretty straightfoward. They service grilled cheese donuts, as a flagship item there. They cut a glazed donut in half, put the cut sides facing outward, and in the middle, they put a pile of cheddar cheese! Challengers must eat twelve of these PLUS one specialty grilled cheese donut (I chose Banana-Rama) in ten short minutes! If successful, the $50 meal is free, you get a t-shirt (or choice of hat in this case) and eternal glory!

![Bellas UNDEFEATED Pizza Challenge w/ Randy Santel, Brandon Clark & Josh!
I got the pleasure once again to share the table with the great Randy Santel. This event was extra special because I got the honor of eating with Josh for his food challenge debut! Josh partnered up with the one and only Garbage Disposal, Brandon Clark.
We each had an hour to eat a 28 10-12 lb pizza, consisting of 4+ of crust and a minimum of either 4 veggie toppings or two meat toppings. We got to go with 1 meat and 2 veggies. If successful, not only do we get the pizza free, but we also get a t-shirt and (for now) the opportunity to set the record and be the first ever winners!

![5 Minute AYCE Rice Cake Contest - EPIC COLLAB w MOLLY SCHUYLER & MAX VS FOOD!
After poking fun at my buddy Max Stanford for a funny American accent he did in one of his videos, we got to talking and decided to team up for a US vs. UK showdown video! To make things even better, we invited the legendary Molly Schuyler along for the collaboration and she decided to join!
They made the mistake of allowing me to convince them to do rice cakes as the discipline for this contest and all of our gums and the roofs of our mouths got to pay the price for it.

![Carriage House Omelette Challenge!
On the way back from an amazingly fun weekend trip to Kansas City with friends, we stopped through Springfield, MO on the way home for a bite... Actually, A LOT of bites! The source of the bites is Normas Carriage House Diner.
This was my first ever omelette challenge, so I knew I had to scarf the eggs down as quickly as possible. Fortunately, the meats and veggies they mix into this omelette are almost exactly my favorite things to put into an omelette. The wild card here was that they had a new chef in the kitchen who had never cooked the challenge before, so I wound up being the lucky recipient of a dramatically larger (about 3x more) than usual portion of hashbrowns!
With small utensils only and a cheering section full of my peers, was I able to tackle this humungous breakfast in only 30 minutes?
