Ten minutes seemed like an eternity.This is the amount of time it took Joey 'Jaws' Chestnut to consume eight pounds, 5 ounces of deep fried asparagus. Matt 'Megaload' Stonie took second with 7 pounds, 14 ounces.It was a beautiful day for a competition. The 'Stoction Asparagus Festival' was the venue for this gallant battle of the Major League of Eating. I think I will have some asparagus with dinner.
Deep fried asparagus is one of my favorite appetizers ever. That being said, I don't think I could ever eat that much at one time. Blech.
ReplyDeleteChris, I have been eating a lot of asparagus right now. It is the peak of the season. Bacon wrapped asparagus on the grill is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI do love asparagus but just can not imagine eating much.Crazy!
ReplyDeleteCompetitive eating is just so whorish. Take a normal body function and perform it excessively for money.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm turning into a Puritan, dammit.
Greg, Me too.
ReplyDeletecookiecrumb, I like all-star wrestling, roller derby, competition eating and football. I do not like soap opera's.(Body functions in excess.)
I love you, man.
