World Lobster Festival Contest Results
from http://www.sonyatheblackwidow.com/:
Lobster-Eating Championship (12 minutes), 13 Aug 05, Kennebunkport, Maine.
- Sonya “The Black Widow” Thomas, 44 Lobsters (11.4 lbs) (New World Record!)
- “Crazy Legs” Conti: 32 Lobsters
- Eric “Badlands” Booker: 25 Lobsters
Unlike last week, Sonya’s victory was never in doubt. Despite not being challenged, she easily breaks the record she set last year of 9.76 pounds (38 lobsters), an (11.4 – 9.76) / 9.76 = 17% increase from last year.
The crabcake contest to be held at the Midway Slots at the Delaware State Fairgrounds in Harrington August 21 will probably be Sonya’s next contest (There are several IFOCE contests next weekend). This will give her the chance to set shellfish eating records in consecutive weeks . The contest will be the closest event to Sonya’s hometown of Alexandria, VA that she has competed in quite a while. Brian Subich’s website says that Joey Chestnut will probably travel across the country to appear in this contest, setting up the possibility of a repeat of the dramatic finish at the bratwurst contest last week.
Updated 8:59pm The AP has put out an article on the lobster contest (from boston.com) It gets the date of the grilled cheese contest wrong like the AP article on the bratwurst contest.

Who is this Joey Chestnut? Who cares if he is going to crab cakes? He probably is a crab cake.
