New Podcast Posting: Major League Eating

Major League Eating is a sports franchise that oversees professional competitive events and competitive eating television specials.

We first came across a MLE event years ago at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest, a July 4th tradition at Brooklyn’s Coney Island.

These days it’s more than just hot dogs.

There are contests for the consumption of hamburgers, hard boil eggs, BBQ wings and pounds of rib meat, just to name afew.

It is a sport with its own stars, television specials and big-time cash prizes.

In this conversation, we speak with Ryan Nerz about how Major League Eating got started and just what it does.
