Sixty-year-old Eats Most Peppers
A 60-year-old retired accountant from Nevada, Rich “The Locust” Lefevre, says he has a new job now. He travels across the country entering eating contests.
LeFevre collected $2,000 for his latest efforts, winning a jalapeno-eating contest on Sunday at the State Fair of Texas.
LeFevre downed 247 peppers in 8 minutes. He is a professional eater and is ranked 8th in the world in eating competitions.
I guess I don’t have to give the standard warning:
if I was 14 years old again that would sound like a dream job to be a professional eater (back when I could eat through a fridge like a science fiction monster), but now it just seems…well…insane
