Say Hello To The All-Time Dominate South Dakota Competitive Eater If you know someone who loves to eat, I'm pretty confident this South Dakota woman would give a new definition to the term "good eater." Meet Karen Meyer of Brandon, South Dakota-She is known as an award-winning competitive eater in the Sioux Empire. She means business too! Karen Meyer doesn't mess around when it comes to food. She has been ruling the eating competition world across the Sioux Empire. Karen recently sat down with our friends at Pigeon605 to detail her food journey. No food is safe. Pizza, hot dogs, nachos, chicken, burgers....there is nothing Karen Meyer won't eat. But she doesn't always win the battle. Sometimes, the challenges require Meyer to eat multiple items. At Jethro’s BBQ in Ankeny, Iowa, she polished off a pound of waffle fries, a spicy pickle, 8 ounces each of pork tenderloin and buffalo chicken tenders covered in 4 ounces of white cheddar sauce, two cubes of fried cheese, a pound of beef brisket, one-quarter pound of bacon, an 8-ounce cheeseburger and the top and bottom of a bun that enclosed it all. She edged in within the 15-minute time limit with 10 seconds to spare Winning isn't easy, but it sure does taste good! Who Is Karen Meyer and Why Does She Compete in Eating Contests? She's a regular mom of three who works as a lab tech. Karen proudly admitted to our friends at Pigeon605 that she's "a person who enjoys multitasking." She also loves the competitive rush and the intensity that some challenges bring. We first learn about Karen when she completed the Yard Bird Challenge last November The Yard Bird Challenge has been part of the regular menu at the Keg Chicken, and few have been brave enough to try it. Until now. How Does The Yard Bird Challenge Work? What's In It? You'd better be hungry for this major Sioux Falls food challenge. Here's what is on the menu for the Yard Bird Challenge: - 16 pieces of chicken (Equals two chickens). - One pound of fries. - A Pint of Two Sides of choice (baked beans, coleslaw, or potato salad) You can pick the drink of your choice to wash this meal down.
