August 21 contest results
Delaware Crabcakes
Delaware State News has an article about the crabcake contest out. The 2003, 04 and probable 2005 rookies of the year took the top 3 places. This win will extend Sonya’s non-Kobayashi winning streak to about 7 months and gives her $8,000 in prizes for August.
Michigan Grilled Cheese
Patrick Bertoletti, 1st 21.5 grilled cheeses, Jammin’ Joe LaRue 2nd 18, and T. Brown 15. Patrick Bertoletti ties Sonya Thomas for the best mark so far in Grilled Cheese. Patrick Bertoletti would probably be rookie of the year if not for Joey Chestnut. I am not sure why Sonya Thomas went to San Diego instead of NC or SC for grilled cheese. It would be a much shorter trip and she would have a better idea of what result would be needed for the the best overall mark would be since those contests are later in the circuit.
NJ Pizza
Ed Cookie Jarvis 1st, 2 full pies and two generous bites, Bob Shoudt, 2nd 1 2/3 pies, Pat from Moonachie, 3rd 1 1/2 pies, Brian Seiken 4th (See here for Brian’s explanation why he didn’t finish 3rd)
Iowa Smoked Pork
No results are in. With Patrick Bertoletti going to Detroit, it would be a big upset if the LeFevres don’t finish 1-2 and Kevin Carr will probably finish 3rd.

whoa. whoa. whoa. It’s a long year. The Rookie of the Year award won’t be announced until July 4th. Chestnut rightfully is the huge favorite to win it, and we’ll be shocked if he doesn’t. But if Chestnut weren’t on the scene, it’d be a horserace for the honor, with Pat from Moonachie and Patrick Bertoletti as just two of the contenders. It’s foolish to speculate now. July’s a long way away.

Kevin Carr will probably not finish third. The Atlanta guy probably will.

I was 3rd and Loren Yarbrough was 4th behind the Lefevres at the smoked pork in Iowa.
