The New York Daily News has an article about Sunday’s pizza eating contest in Brooklyn with the following quote from George Shea: “It doesn’t have real eaters. It isn’t officially sanctioned. It sounds like a cheap publicity stunt to me”.

With the qualifying session now over, the Go! Go! Curry! twitter reports that Dale Boone qualified for the final contest on May 30. His time placed him 5th overall. Don Lerman apparently retained the #4 position. The original #5 qualifier, Andris Zvargulis, attempted to beat Dale’s time but could not.

PMQ reports that Dale Boone will compete in the Brooklyn Pizza contest on May 31. The first prize for that contest will be $300.

It is rather hypocritical that the WLOCE contract prevents signees from doing non-WLOCE events while Dale Boone is free to do whatever non-WLOCE he wants.

Midtown Lunch has a blog entry about tomorrow’s final qualifier for the Go! Go! Curry! eating contest containing a long quote from Crazy Legs Conti. Two currently unlisted qualifiers have broken 1:08, so the current threshold for new qualifiers is faster than that time. The Go! Go! Curry! facebook page says that Dale Boone will compete.

The Go! Go! Curry! home page is running a lottery for the four seats available for the audience.
