from that blog:
They held the world gyoza eating championship. Steamed dumplings. The winner got $2500. I guess there’s this whole league of professional eaters. They all knew each other and fly around…eating. The people who came in 2nd and 3rd ate 10 percent of their body weight in 10 minutes!!! f***ing incredible. The winner was a bit larger though. You might think that chick wouldn’t do so well, but she came in 2nd. They had all these strategies like covering their mouth so air wouldn’t get in and dipping them in water to help them slide down, and they’d hop around a bit to settle it and get out any burps. Some amatuers competed along with the pros, I mean some fat ass dudes. They amatuers ate like 40 or so (I’ve eaten maybe 24 and I’m stuffed). The record they set was 162 if I remember correctly.
