BottomLineSox announces that the 1 pound 9 ounce McGreevy’s Beckett Burger will debut at McGreevy’s this afternoon. Josh Beckett will be present at the restaurant until 3 pm today and award Red Sox tickets. The burger weight was selected to honor of Josh Beckett’s #19 uniform number. The burger price is $30 and a portion of the cost will go to the Josh Beckett Foundation. All purchasers will receive one of two T shirts which will announce whether they succeeded or failed in the challenge.
The Trenton Thunder have also started the Thunder Burger Challenge which consists of three grilled cheese sandwiches separated by half pound burger patties. The burger is free if it is finished in under 30 minutes and all finishers will be invited to a contest on August 28. (Will this bring central New Jersey’s most famous burger eater out of retirement?)

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.
