Queen Mary sold to new owners

The chili cheese fries eating contest held at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA was the most lucrative IFOCE event on the west coast in 2006 and 2007. The good news for the future of that contest is the recent emergence of the contest site from bankruptcy after selling to a group of investors called “Save Our Queen.” The bad news is the new owners might have different priorities for the marketing budget.

    I sure hope they have it again in 2008. After how godawful I did last time, I really was looking forward to redeeming myself.

    They will only gave it if it is a guy only contest. Kevin you have no reason to feel bad because that damned contest was rigged from the start so a female would win. Hell even menchetti and chapman can eat circles around all the female eaters in the fed and thata why all females need to get the hell out. Its not fair!!!!!!!1

    You gotta have a back-up plan better than ours. So far, ours is back-up, and get rear-ended. When you keep doing this, you get fried cheese meatballs.
