Columbia, SC area eating challenges
The University of South Carolina has an article about restaurants in the Columbia, SC area that have eating challenges or contests. The article describes an attempt to break The Whig’s 40 taco record held by Joseph Tolbert:
Self-proclaimed taco-lover Patti Carson aspires to surpass Tolbert’s record some day.
“I’m positive that I have a chance,” 28-year-old Carson said.
She gave it a try earlier this year and managed to eat 24 tacos, 16 shy of Tolbert’s record.
She said she had trained by eating loads of hamburgers, cheeseburgers and eggplant parmesan the week before her attempt. She even created jerseys and foam fingers for her friends reading “Team Taco,” and crafted a homemade taco-shaped hat for herself. She is commonly referred to at The Whig as the “Taco Mascot.”
