Competitive eating may have been a thing before humans or it may not have, but they certainly made it more interesting: It suddenly jumped three rating warnings, and became a spectator sport for those brave enough to watch.
The first interspecies restaurant had a glass-walled enclosure for the humans. Polarized glass walls. Those who did not wish to view human eating habits could purchase or rent shields for their eyes that were also polarised so as to render the glass walls black and opaque.
The restaurateur had the brilliant idea of having them on offer for every non-human table. In a box that could only be unlocked by an Hour coin.
But after the food contests started amongst the humans, sales of the glasses dropped.
The sight of one human attempting to ingest a pizza the size of a table, or a burger the weight of a stripling child, or a mountain of chicken parts was, simply, too much to resist.
And then there were the times they deliberately, competitively, attempted to ingest what could easily be fatal amounts of capsaicin for each and every audience member combined.
And when the humans hosted a food-themed game show there…
Well.
The restaurateur simply changed tactics, and charged clientele extra to take the glasses away.
