Carmen Cincotti

Who saw that coming? To be completely honest, not those of us here at MLE HQ who are paid to see such things coming. And that's on us. That thing in question was a beautiful sight: Carmen Cincotti, a computer graphics and physics enthusiast born in 1993, ate 42 Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs & Buns in 10 minutes to win the 2016 Washington DC qualifier in high style and he did so again shortly after at the 2016 Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest. In doing so he announced himself thus: "I am Carmen Cincotti and even though I am an affable young man, I am not to be trifled with, and certainly not when it comes to eating Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs & Buns." He has no respect for the current world order and he is here to tear it all down without regard to the consequences. Which is why he is known as “The Mutiny.”
