If you ask a lot of eaters there would be some out there who think I am a little unbalanced, I love unbalanced people so I hope I am unbalanced. In terms of what other people think of my persona I think for the most part they think it's creative, they think it's unique. It's something I took out of my own experience, not just something that was sort of given to me. With the Association of Independent Competitive Eaters, we really like to encourage people and I do this with myself obviously to have a moniker and a shtick and stuff like that. I think other eaters see that it's more than just guys sitting around a table; it's also what you bring in terms of your persona. That's an important part of it. People will walk away from a competitive eating contest remembering that part of it as much as they'll remember how much somebody ate.
