Hall Hunt Czech trip repot
Hall Hunt has posted a blog entry about his trip to the Czech Republic to compete in eating contests at the Trnkobrani festival. He had difficulty extracting the plum pits from the plum dumplings, which he believed was required for counting purposes, but was actually unnecessary. Saturday’s contest was a pizza / pickles / ice cream triathlon. (If a pregnant woman competed, she might have won that event 😉 )
Czech contest coverage
Several Czech language articles and a gallery about the eating contests held at the Trnkobranà festival this weekend are available. Pat Bertoletti and Hall Hunt participated in a pizza contest held yesterday. An hour long dumpling eating contest will take place today. Pat Bertoletti hopes to break the record of 191 dumplings set in 2003.
update An article with the results of the dumpling contest is available (from Steakbellie)
1. Pat Bertoletti 233 dumplings, new record (had 200 after 35 minutes)
2. Kamil Hamersky 162 dumplings
