Anyone who has shared a meal with Kid Cary can tell you, watching
him eat is not a pretty sight. Kid Cary is the product of a Jewish mother
and an Italian father, so it's been an up hill battle from the start.
Growing up, food was always pivotal. Lots of lasagna, plenty of matzo
balls. His mother cooked all the time, and she would say "EAT, EAT." Kid
Cary's Italian aunts would fill him full of sausage and pasta, and they
would also say, "EAT, EAT." He had to face it, being both Jewish and Italian, food was
his field. Eating, is one of the three things he did best. Realizing
this, 20 years ago he moved to the city of buffets and plenty of food—Las
Vegas. To him, Las Vegas has always been a training camp for hot dog
eating. Kid Cary knows all to well the risks of the sport, but
competitive eating is his life.
