Cataldi on WB 18: “pros contribute very little”
Angelo Cataldi’s most recent blog entry reports that the return of IFOCE eaters to the Wing Bowl in 2010 is not a certainty:
The big question now is whether to open the event back up to the professional eaters next year. I may not have to make that decision since my contract runs out before the next Wing Bowl, but my inclination right now is to keep them out. The pros contribute very little to the actual event. They rarely bother to prepare a procession, they have little or no personality, and they detract from the original intent of Wing Bowl, which is to turn an average Joe into Rocky Balboa for a day. Any input from the listeners and Wing Bowl patrons is welcome here.
