Colin burst onto the competitive eating scene in March 2012 when he won the Hot Dog Style Hot Dog Eating Competition, eating 10 HDB’s in 12 minutes. After realising his potential, he soon entered the Yardbird Ale House Death Sentence Wing Challenge 2, where he missed out on a top 3 spot by only 1 wing. Determined to make the finals, he returned for round 3 where he won the event, securing his place in Yardbird folklore and solidifying his position as an eater to be reckoned with.
With speed being his forte, he has won a number of other events in 2012, and recently flew interstate to compete in the Taco Bill’s “Big Willi” Grand Fork Off, placing second overall.
Colin has recently launched his own eating blog, http://www.bigeats.com.au where he’ll be documenting eating challenges around Australia.
