"Yep, that's a bear," Nick Wehry recalls thinking. "That's a very real bear." The competitive eater was looking at his 800-pound opponent. Connecticut-born Wehry is the No. 6 competitive eater in the world, according to Major League Eating. He's gone around the country and abroad participating in contests and holds the world record for hard boiled eggs — he ate 50 in just over three minutes. He's even downed cheeseburgers (and taken milkshakes to the face) while riding in a high-speed drift car.
