Eric "Badlands" Booker (born c. 1969), was born in Jamaica, Queens and is an American hip hop artist and record-holding competitive eater. ==Competitive eating career== Booker trains for competitions by trying to stretch his stomach and develop jaw strength. He eats large amounts of fruit and vegetables and drinks a gallon of water in a sitting in order to stretch his stomach, and chews over twenty pieces of gum at a time to build jaw strength.〔http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/foodwine/2002527620_eating29m.html Eating champs to chow down at Everett wingding by Brian Alexander〕 He maintains that competitive eating is a healthy sport, and has lost weight since he began competing.〔http://archives.starbulletin.com/2004/08/04/features/story2.html The Totally Earnest Eater by Pat Gee〕 Presently ranked 10th. by the IFOCE, some of Booker's accomplishments include: *Burritos: 15 Qdoba burritos / 8 minutes〔International Federation of Competitive Eating, Eater Profiles: Eric Booker.
