A commenter posted a link to an article reporting that Corinth [MS] Area Convention and Visitors Bureau tabled a request for $11275 to fund the 2016 Slugburger eating contest. The request will be reconsidered when Main Street Corinth Director Brent Johnson meets with the board. If $11,275 was the cost of the 2015 event, 26.6% of that amount was used for the $3000 purse. update LA Beast has posted screenshots (without links) of this post to facebook and twitter.
