Nate Brennan is a person who writes things for a living. He owns a dog. He eats two to three times per day, so he should really be in his element here.

I worked at First Avenue full-time for about a year and a half. I ate probably two or three Diamond Dogs™ a week, leading me to believe I’ve eaten more of them than any human alive. I’m going to compress all those calories into 10 minutes. Yee-haw!

I live in Minneapolis and work for Securian financial in St. Paul. I moved back to Minnesota after graduating from Brown university to help fight the marriage amendment. I’m starting law school at NYU this fall.

Been a Minnesota resident forever – love all the crazy seasons! I’m a teacher at a local college so I’ll be updating my CV as soon as I finish this up, maybe HR will give me a raise!

Since the dawn of time, there has been food. Since the dawn of Craig Reed, there has been Craig Reed. Finally, the two meet face to face in a battle of epic proportions. I don’t see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind.

Born and raised in the Twin Cities area, originally from Chanhassen. I work in IT support and at a liquor store. I am a rookie on the competitive eating circuit but my friends are always impressed with the amount of food that I can take down.
