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.

Midway Slots Crab Cake-Eating Championship, 21 Aug 05, Harrington, DE.
- Sonya “The Black Widow” Thomas, 40 Crab Cakes (to establish a World Standard)
- Joey “Jaws” Chestnut: 38
- Tim “Eater X” Janus: 32
Updated Aug 23 1:02 am
Joey Chestnut continues to establish himself as Sonya’s greatest American threat. Tim Janus originally planned to do the prizeless Saratoga Nathan’s qualifier; its cancellation resulted in him having a more lucrative weekend than planned.
Sonya will take a well deserved break next weekend before coming back with three contests Labor Day weekend.
I have a post containing links to articles about today’s contests tonight.
Delaware crabcake contest preview, part 2
delawareonline.com has a preview of tomorrow’s crabcake contest. Sonya Thomas hopes to consume 50 3 ounce crabcakes in 12 minutes, which will contain 6,603 calories. Sonya says she will practice eating crabcakes before the contest, which I do not think she did with bratwurst. There is also some information about what Sonya experiences post-contest.
Delaware crabcake contest preview
The Delaware State News has a preview of Sunday’s crabcake contest at the Delaware Slots online with some quotes from Sonya Thomas. Sonya states she lived in Georgetown, Delaware in 1996 and managed a Burger King there so the contest will be something of a homecoming to her.
Joey Chestnut states he will travel across the country to compete, setting up the possibility of a repeat of the dramatic finish at the bratwurst contest in Wisconsin. The URL for Joey’s upcoming website will be futureofeating.com. We will see on Sunday if the future starts August 21.
