Troubles at the Tropicana casino
A meatball eating contest was held at the Tropicana casino in Atlantic City the previous three Decembers. An article in nj.com reports on some of the issues facing that establishment which might have resulted in the contest not being renewed in 2007:
In a rare move, the state’s top casino prosecutor yesterday asked the Casino Control Commission to renew Tropicana’s license for one year — instead of the typical five — and impose seven-pages of restrictions to a gambling parlor that has grabbed headlines for its massive layoffs and patron complaints of vermin, unsanitary conditions and lousy service.
The casino was sold to a new owner, William Yung, early this year and has experienced a 10% drop in revenue.

The website for Bubba Dogs reports on the hot dog eating contest it held Saturday:
Well, it was a great day. We ended up with 10 contestants on Saturday and had a phenomenal time. Most importantly, we raised $2000 for the Fallen Heroes Fund. The winner was Gentleman Joe Menchetti who gobbled 18 hot dogs in 12 minutes. It seems that Joe was taking it easy as he knew he had it in the bag. Below are the pix from the day (click on them for larger view). The weather cooperated and we ended up moving from the promenade at JFK to the La Costa complex parking lot. This proved to be the right move as most of the festivities were taking place in this area anyway.

from the main page of humblebob.com:
I am offering my first place purse of $2,500 to anyone, (eater, fan, official, anyone) that has evidence that this (cheating) happened at any Carmine’s Meatball Contest (2004, 2005, 2006). This offer is for payment in cash. Bring the evidence, take the cash. It is that simple.
