How does a beginner choose a food for competition?

Ian "The Invader" Hickman (Competitive Eater) gives expert video advice on: What do you eat when you're competing?; What's the best food for an eating competition?; What foods can be used in competitive eating? and more...

I know that whenever I began in competitive eating, I was really apt to take any contest, so my statement for any person looking in to getting in a contest, just like throw down your barriers, go at it, even if you don't like chicken wings, try it, if you don't like fried zucchini, try it, you won't know until you try it, and you may be surprised that you're better at it than the next person. So, so go.
