For the Eggnog contest one of the prizes is a trip to Colorado. That will probably happen at the NY Hard Rock Café perhaps on December 7th. The Homeless Shopping Spree will probably be on the 15th. Joey, the guy who won the Nathan’s Hot Dog contest, had previously said that he wants to be in the eggnog contest but they’ve heard rumors that the competitive food organization may want them to pay money.
Pat from Moonachie. He will be in the Eggnog contest. He sounds down. His new used van is more of a money pit than his old van. The eating organization passed over him for something that was on Spike TV, it was supposed to be the top 16 eaters and he is number 16. He thinks it was because he is the only fat one in the group.
