A competitive eater known as "The People's Champ," Eric "Badlands" Booker maintained a position at the top of the Major League Eating's rankings for over 15 years. He has excited fans at recent events by performing selections from his rap albums, Hungry & Focused 1-4, Extended Play, Surf & Stillwell & Big Man Mentality. He's currently ranked #13 in the world by MLE and remains among the most popular competitive eaters in America. Tune in as he eats an entire box of Cap'n Crunch on air in less than 6 minutes AND freestyle raps about cereal over the theme song. Incredible.
