I participated in my first ever eating competition today
All in all, lots of friendly people and the weather was decent (given the forecast said to expect a thunderstorm today)
Last year, there were only 4 people competing and the year before, there were only 6 people. This year, there were
16 people competing, and the guy who came in 1st (and also last year's winner) is supposedly a professional eater. Guy ended up eating 26 clam cakes in 10 mins (he ate 24 last year).
And I ended up in second place today eating 24 clam cakes. Soclose.jpg
1st place on the right, me in middle, 3rd on the left.
I think I was a bit self-conscious towards the start 'cos there were so many people watching us and it was my first time participating in an event like this. But hell, second place isn't too bad...I'll take it. Plus, I got a $50 gift voucher to the restaurant
