The Big Eat

The Big Eat is a one hour factual entertainment documentary shown on Channel 4 and produced by Twofour which follows the search for and training of a British Champion to compete in the Competitive Eating World Championships in New York. The competition was won by Rob "Baby-Face" Burns, a 34-year-old from Wolverhampton. He ate 18 mini-pork pies in 12 minutes, but could only finish last in the 2005 IFOCE/Nathan's Famous competition at Coney Island, where he finished on 10 hot-dogs. Andy Kocen finished second by only one pork pie, soundly beating Jimmy "Oyster" Glackin, one-time holder of the world record for Guinness and oyster consumption.
