Competitive eater joins Rothfus staff as constituent advocate

Posted by Steve Shapiro on Sept. 11, 2015

Rep. Keith Rothfus (R-Pa.) has hired a constituent advocate who really knows how to get rid of pork.

Brian Subich joined Rothfus' Johnstown office this past June but was already well known to the community for his exceptional ability to chow down. Subich has been eating competitively since 2004 and was ranked No. 21 in the world in 2012. In contests he has regularly downed over 20 hot dogs within 10 minutes and set a personal best of 27 hot dogs in 2007. Subich decided to retire from the sport in October of 2014, making his last contest a chili eating competition at Ben's Chili Bowl in Washington, D.C.

He has competed by eating everything from pulled pork sandwiches to cannolis and has appeared in several Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contests which are televised on ESPN every July 4th. When not hungering for competition, Subich served on the Johnstown City Council and coached football. He has also recently stated interest in running for political office as a district magistrate judge.
