Hefty foodies scoff their way to world records
Updated | By The Scenic Drive with Rian
The South African Federation of Competitive Eating was founded to bring food and entertainment together in a way that has never been seen before.
The South African Federation of Competitive Eating (SAFCE) gives people who have the remarkable ability to eat large amounts of food in one sitting the opportunity to shine.
Combining exposure for great restaurants, the natural flair for competitive eating, community work and a fun and entertaining event that anyone can compete in, founder Sean Robinson creates unforgettable events with SAFCE.
Today on the Scenic Drive, three men who consider themselves good competitive eaters will go head to head in a contest that will separate the men from the boys.
CONTESTANT 1: Osborne 'Big Daddy' Machimana
Heavyweight boxing champion
CONTESTANT 2: Tyler Brown
SA Competitive Eating Champion
Tyler Brown is a multiple record holder for competitive eating in South Africa. He holds the title for eating 2kgs of ribs in less than 7 minutes. He also won after competing in a slider eating contest in Pretoria. He ate 40 burger sliders in under 10 minutes.
He describes himself as an aspiring competitive eater with 2 South African records in competitive eating. He says squats are the best part of the week and that good form is key.
CONTESTANT 3: Renier “Mr Eat-a-lot” Bruwer
Scenic Drive Listener
Renier is a Scenic Drive listener who weighs-in at a 190kg.
He was entered into the eating competition by his best friend, Nardus. They have known each other for 5 years and live a few meters away from each other on a farm near Roodeplaat in Pretoria. He says they both love good food. They are both in the construction business and are qualified electricians who both have their own businesses.
Renier says they often challenge each other in eating competitions and that they are very competitive, especially towards each other.
It’s all in the name of good fun, he says.
