From Sarah Digregorio of
New York’s The Village Voice:
The Olympics are over, so let’s ring them out in style with New York’s
most flamboyant competitive eater, Crazy Legs Conti, shown here eating
Michael Phelp’s typical breakfast in 5 minutes. Yes, we’re all a little
tired of hearing about the quantities America’s freakiest Olympian
eats, but this video puts a worthy cap on a news story that ended up
absolutely everywhere. Three pancakes, three french toasts, three fried
egg sandwiches, a bowl of grits, an omelet and two cups of coffee—down
the hatch in 5 minutes. Bonus: Crazy Legs does it wearing swimming
goggles, and no shirt, so you can watch his stomach expand in Olympian
fashion."
