Spring -2006 Spot Light On King George Van Laar King George Van Laar who is the four time New Jersey 1/4 lb Hot Dog Eating Champion and possibly the best kept secret in Competitive Eating. The "King", who hails from Roselle, NJ has only one loss in his eating career, when he lost a controversial decision to Gentleman Joe Menchetti at the 2004 Windmill Hot Dog Eating Championship. "King George" has been primarily known as a Hot Dog Specialist, but will attempt to expand his domain in an attempt at the Quick Chek Italian Sub Eating Title in 2006. "King George", a long time advocate and practitioner of Picnic Style Rules, hopes to return both New Jersey Sub and Hot Dog Titles to the State of New Jersey in 2006; very few are betting against the big fella to fail in his bid to restore honor to the Garden State.
Update: 8/13/06- The King holds court to take back his crown! NJ is celebrates! King George Van Laar fought off the unrelenting charge of Ian 'The Invader' Hickman and the great Gentleman Joe Menchetti to win back his crown of Windmill National 1/4 Hot Dog Eating Champion. All food warriors battled bite to bite with several lead changes as the notoriously enthusiastic Bar Anticipation patrons maddly cheered the gurgitory gladiators. The hopes, prayers, dreams (and perhaps a few side bets) of all New Jersians seem to be suspended in mid-air as the judges scrambled for their measuring sticks during several moments of uncertainty as teh officials attempted to determining who would be the next Windmill National 1/4 Hot Dog Eating Champion. After some analysis and reanalysis King George was declared the winner with 12.75 meat monsters to Hickman's 12.66 meat monsters. In third place was pre-race favorite and two time returning champ Gjoe with 11.75.
