6 crabcakes in 2:42 called best crabcake performance
The Baltimore Sun has an article about the Phillips crabcake eating contest at the Maryland Seafood Festival. Walter Hughes won the contest by eating 6 crabcakes in 2:42.
Michelle Torres, director of marketing for Phillips Seafood Restaurants, said Hughes was the fastest crab-cake eater she had ever seen. The restaurant had sponsored four crab-eating contests in recent years, Torres said, and Hughes had outpaced all the other winners.
Sonya Thomas ate 46 crabcakes in 10 minutes to win the 2006 Phillips crabcake contest.

The Indepedent of London has an article about the oyster eating challenge at Wintzell’s Oyster House in Mobile Alabama:
The genuine smile is harder to find in the US than anywhere else on earth. On the East and West coasts, people smile because they’re feeling smug. But in Alabama, people smile because they want you to be happy. It’s evident in the 1920s canteen-style interior of Wintzell’s, where the walls are covered with ancient, handwritten signs of folksy, homespun wisdom (“Unfortunately, there is a widespread view that the proper lubricant for a political machine is palm oil rather than elbow grease” is one example).
