update #2 WCCO has video from the contest
update The top 3 from MLE via Crawfish
1 Pat Bertoletti 26
2 Mark Williams 13.5
3 Julie Dey 11
Julie Dey has the best female debut since Juliet Lee and is the 8th female with a 10+ HDB Nathan’s result according to the eatfeats database. The contest was her first according to a comment in a CityPages blog entry.
It is surprising Patrick Vandam did not compete.
George Shea reports that Pat Bertoletti won the Minnesota Nathan’s qualifier with 26 HDB. DeepDishEats confirms the total. Cold rain contributed to Bertoletti’s unexpectedly low amount.
In a startribune.com comment, someone claiming to have done 31 HDB says he will participate in the qualifier, which would probably be Patrick VanDam if accurate.
