2006 Baltimore Pancake contest
I recently came across this article and video on wjz.com about a pancake eating contest held at Pete’s Grille in Baltimore in November. Johns Hopkins student Liz Gilbert won the women’s division with 10.5 pancakes in a hour. She won the division in 2004 and was DQed in 2005. There is an article about Ms. Gilbert in the Johns Hopkins newsletter in which she describes why she competes in eating contests:
“Eating is such a faux-pas for women. Eating and food, for American women, is too big a deal. I like to see people take it less seriously, take their bodies less seriously, and this is something that’s emblematic of that,” she said.
“[Expletive deleted] it. I don’t care if people think I eat a lot. If you keep a regular diet and exercise and feel good about yourself, I don’t see why you can’t go out and do something excessive every once and a while.”
5th place men’s finisher Scott Yin also gets an article in the Johns Hopkins newsletter. Only the first name of the men’s division winner, Lee, is listed.
