This isn't just any qualifier; it's a battle set on the world's biggest stage, in the heart of New York City. A Gastronomic Gauntlet in the Gotham Glare.

Prepare to witness a fierce competition under the gaze of towering billboards and amidst the hustle and bustle of Times Square. Here, in the pulsing heart of NYC, the top male and female competitive eaters will face the ultimate test of endurance, skill, and spirit.

Amidst the glow of neon lights and the chorus of city sounds, your moment of glory beckons. This is where legends are born and where dreams become reality. If you're ready to take on the best and prove your worth on the biggest stage of all, then Times Square is calling. Step into the Spotlight!
