Nick Bauer

Known as "The Gorgin' Goblin," Nick Bauer comes from a competitive eating family (brother Kobi is also known to frequent the MLE table) and 2010 appears to be a breakout year for the 28-year old pro who eats out of Texas. Bauer has competed in both Krystal and Nathan's qualifiers in the past, but it was until April 2010 that Bauer made waves on the MLE Circuit by finishing in second place at the World Crawfish Eating Championship in NOLA. Living in Houston, Bauer is not afraid to fill the truck with gas and hit the road en route to contests, sometimes driving upwards of 12 hours just for the glory that comes with competing in 10-minutes of Major League Eating action.
