    Thanks for posting this OJ. Dan Kennedy was 5th with 50, an excellent job for his first time at dumplings. Brian was 9th. Everybody did terrific at the contest. There were a lot of heavy hitters there.

    The numbers were down compared to last year because the dumplings were bigger and more dense. Seiken ate 48 last year Molly 116 last year Bob barely made the money and 7 time champ menchetti finished out of the money but barely. Results speak for themselves but im enjoying a few as we speak

    Pat was disqualified during the contest in 2014 for smashing dumplings:

    Judging from his twitter post, he didn’t seem likely to ever return:

    You could tell Molly wasn’t even trying. What was up with that?

    UPDATE: My video (sorry, it is a little shaky) of the men’s final round of the contest is now available (round 4 of 4 of the men’s division):

    https://youtu.be/rOpj1cwe0B4

    This round features Wayne Algenio, Bob Shoudt, Joe Menchetti, and Dave Brunelli.

    Sorry, I have no women’s video of the final round since I was a contestant in that round.

    Does anyone remember that bald headed midget tossing meatballs in an uneaten bowl at the Carmines meatball contest in 2004? All this to save face and cheat so he could hang on to his pity ranking

    i remember that meatball contest very well. The cheap bastard wouldnt buy the actual meatballs from Carmines instead made his wife prepare meatballs from scratch so he could practice for nothing. Subich caught him cheating . Had no shot of getting in the money all he cared about was that god forbid he would finish behind Subich and Conti which he did Ha ha

    Why were the men in the last round allowed to eat like hogs and throw dumplings everywhere?

    Dumplings were cold and unedible. Unless they moisten them up next time or allow us to bring our own beverages i wouldn’t waste my hard earned $20 on this crap

    Maybe she’s learned not to do more than necessary?? She may have had a challenge or two right after dumplings also.

    Rumor has it that seiken saw someone eating a dumpling while accidentally spitting while they were talking. He was so grossed out it affected his performance at the table
