New Poll: grilled cheese bowl winning total

The new poll question asks what the winning total for Wedensday’s goldenpalace.com grilled cheese final will be. Here are the top results for the previous poll about your favorite eater’s website: All results can be found at http://trencherwomen.com/wp-polls.php

Big Brian Subich -> 20% (22 Votes)
Andrew Skinnyboy Lane’s blog -> 16% (17 Votes) 16%
Beautiful Brian Seiken -> 14% (15 Votes) 14%
Humble Bob Shoudt -> 12% (13 Votes) 12%
Sonya The Black Widow Thomas -> 11% (12 Votes) 11%
Don Moses Lerman -> 7% (8 Votes) 7%
Tim Eater X Janus fan blog -> 6% (6 Votes) 6%
Super Paul Barlow, Jr -> 6% (6 Votes) 6%

I have reason to believe that some people voted twice (or more) so the above results should be considered extremely unscientific. I was highly surprised that Subich had the winning total given that his website does not appear to have been updated in 2006. The goal for the poll was to make people aware of the websites in the competitive eating community rather than provide an accurate determination of the most popular website.

(from Bob Shoudt) In another competitive eating poll, 610wip.com has a poll on its home page in which you can vote for the first member of the Wing Bowl Hall of Fame. The choices are Heavy Kevy, Bill El Wingador Simmons, and “Soyna” Thomas.

September 16-18 contests preview/ open thread

Friday September 16, Cannoli Eating Championship, Little Italy, NYC
Eric “Badlands” Booker will defend his title. Brian Subich will also compete. The Black Widow might want to avenge her defeat to Booker at the Buffalo wing contest, but no mention of this contest is on her website. I am not sure what prizes, if any, will be awarded for this contest.

(Updated 9/15 10:41 pm) NY1 has a video of a previous cannoli contest and a short article

Saturday September 17, GoldenPalace.com Grilled Cheese qualifier, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma State fair
There might be a possibility for a lower ranked eater to reach the finals at this contest because I am not sure if any top-ranked eaters will attend.

Sunday September 18, Krystal Square Off qualifier Gwinnett County Fair, (North Atlanta, GA)
The IFOCE returns to the suburbs of North Atlanta for the second time in two weeks. Tim Janus will compete. Will he have another breakthrough technique like he did at the Nebraska Grilled Cheese contest?

Sunday September 18, GoldenPalace.com Grilled Cheese qualifier, Salt Lake City, Utah State Fair
Brian Subich will compete in this contest. Carlene LeFevre would probably enter if she was not recuperating from her hospital stay.

(Updated 9/15 10:52 pm) Salt Lake City Weekly has a preview of the contest focusing on Brian Subich
