competitive eater
Professional food racer
A competitive eater is someone who participates in eating contests, consuming large quantities of food as fast as possible.
Professional competitive eaters train to expand stomach capacity and develop techniques for rapid consumption.
The activity has its own circuit, with events like Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest drawing significant audiences: He's a competitive eater who can down sixty hot dogs in ten minutes.
