Shrimp eating contest
- Thread starter PSU0622
- Start date
That may have been the case. May have also been the fact that we have been tailgating for many hours by that point. All I know is that man can eat.
Kind of shellfish of Joey to keep winning all the eating contests. I saw one of his shrimp eating trophies at a prawn shop.
Unrelated to this thread but based on your profile "location." Firm I moved to in Cleveland has a cafeteria called the "Rathskellar." A fellow PSU guy recruited me there, and during orientation when they told me what it was called, I said, well I'm bound to be disappointed in whatever this Skellar is!
Cold peeled shrimp. I'm gagging as I am typing this but all 15lbs were covered in cocktail sauce.....lot's of cocktail sauce.
The shrimp cocktail at St. Elmo Steak House is outstanding.Who eats shrimp in Indianapolis?
Yes, our group was there.....first time I ever saw a competitive eating contest. We tried the shrimp with cocktail sauce, just one cleared my sinuses for a week. Can't believe Joey ate 15lbs but I saw it live. My brother commented (loudly), "those will be even worse coming out than going in!!"
That's actually where they were from. St. Elmo's was the sponsor of the event.
I gotta say I don't understand the competitive eating events. What exactly is the point of jamming massive amounts of food down your throat?
Well he won $3000. I guess that's worth it to the eaters lol. I'm sure the long term effects outweigh the money they win.
We got to see it. Loved having the announcer there that does the Nathan's contest. Probably a tad bit chillier than most contests.
He ate it WITH the St. Elmo's Cocktail sauce? That stuff has so much horseradish in it he probably has a hole in his stomach from it. It's damn good though. Wish we would of hung out to see the contest. My son had me at Fanfest all afternoon.
Some people make a good living off both prize money and sponsorship, and believe it or not, they're not all big, fat guys. Some pretty lean fellows like the Japanese guy. I saw he would work out regularly with weights and cardio to stay in shape.
C'mon cincy, you meant to say "In a different vein ..." Keep with the theme!
That guys name is Kobayashi Maru - I added the "Maru" for the Trekkies in the crowd.
The girl that came in 3rd was 120 lbs tops and has won multiple eating competitions. I also remember Kobeashi (spelling) was ripped and had a 6 pack.
I assume it was Sonya Thomas. I don't know how to add a pic but here's here wiki page. She's a TINY asian woman.

It was actually Miki Sudo and I would give her a Google. She is pretty good looking.
