    That article must be wrong. It isn’t an MLE contest… look at the contestants, many of them left MLE

    I just threw up in my mouth:

    OJ check the date of this article.

    927 (Wu): since when is a rib contest the equivalent of a cheesesteak contest?

    Terrible reporting all around. Tsk tsk.

    That comment isn’t for the cheesesteak festival. We participated last year when it wasn’t a MLE event. That comment is for a ribs competition July 30th not the cheesesteak festival. That will be sanctioned by MLE this year.

    The timestamp is June 21, 2016 — 1:53 PM EDT and the post mentions a disappointing 2015 event
