Mark Lyle "the Human Vacuum"

Spot Light On Mark "The Human Vacuum' Lyle

Currently ranked, 13th in the Nation by the Association of Independent Competitive Eaters, this eater represents the new generation of gurgitators who believe in fitness and a healthy diet.

He is fresh off his recent victory at the War of the Wings Chicken Wing Eating Championship where he decisively defeated two top 10 eaters and 3 top 15 eaters. The next day, despite being tired and unrested, he hopped on a plane to Florida and took third in the World Sweet Corn Eating Championship.

There are few eaters in the world who can match him when it comes to Speed Eating. Mark brings his experience and toughness as a former wrestler and football player with him every time he steps up to the plate. Eager to make a statement, he is determined to take his rightful place among America’s top 10 and hopes that the World Hot Wing and Corn-on-the-cob Eating Championship will be the stepping stone.

Summer 2005 Update: Mark has uped his game and is currently ranked 5th by AICE. Some of his resent accomplishments include: The Great American Chicken Wing Eating Title, and several other near misses for national titles in pastrami, corn on the cob, italian sausage and italian sub. Also hot on the media trail, Mark has recently been interviewed by several major Ohio newspapers. Congratulations to The Vacuum on his recent conquest of 3 two-pound beanie burgers (only the 2nd person to accomplish this feat).
