St. Pat’s Chowdown Day 1 – spoilers
Please place all comments about Day 1 of the Saint Patrick’s Day Chowdown in this thread. I will refrain from posting results from the Chowdown on the main page of the blog until 8 pm eastern Saturday, so you can avoid seeing any results there if you do not want to know who won when you watch it on televison. I have turned off listing the start of a recent comment in the sidebar so no results will be listed there.
Update There is now a comment about the first round results from an anonymous poster, so do not read the comments if you do not want to know how that turned out. Kobayashi did not appear due to his mother’s illness.
update #2 wtoctv.com has an article about the contest. Neither results nor Kobayashi’s absence are mentioned. The picture above shows that Kobayashi was not near the middle of the table. The article does say that 8 eaters were present, so an alternate might have competed.
update #3 (From The Hangman) A gallery with some pictures of the contest can be viewed at http://pixels.savannahnow.com/pages/gallery.php?gallery=310735 The pictures do not give away who advanced to the next round. Badlands Booker was apparently the fill in for Kobayashi. Conti served as a commentator. It would interesting to know what was on the bottom of the sign that read “Sonya Will U …”
Update #4 savannahnow.com has an article which does list second round advancers.
Update #5 (From The Hangman) A video Conti and Eater X on a local news show performing a donut eating exhibition can be seen at http://www.wtoc.com/Global/category.asp?C=95545 (Click on “Eat Like a Pro”, Internet Explorer only)
