Meeting an Eating Legend

Here’s a recent pic at Coney Island with competitive eating legend Eric “Badlands” Booker (the big guy pointing).  We were shooting a piece on hot dogs for History.com and Badlands was nice enough to meet up with us at Nathan’s for an interview and mock hot dog eating contest.  The dude can pound them down; I watched him devour 11 dogs in 3 minutes.  We took this pic after the contest and he looked no worse for the wear. He’s also one of the nicest guys you’ll meet.
