Chicago sandwich makers vs. MLE eaters July 26
InChiCity’s calendar has the following entry for July 26:
Taste of Lincoln
You’ve probably seen the Major League Eaters gobbling down hot dogs and chicken wings on TV and wondered who in the world would ever challenge them. Well, Jimmy John’s, purveyor of all things freaky fast, is doing it. But, this is not just an eating competition. Jimmy John’s is betting that one team of their sandwich makers can make sandwiches faster than three World-Class Major League Eaters can eat them. Starting at 3:00pm on July 26th at Taste of Lincoln Avenue you can experience the Freaky Fast Sandwich Making and Eating Contest! Who will be freaky faster?
Pat Bertoletti said he would be one of the MLE team members on the Steve Dahl show.

I heard through the grapevine the eaters had to pay a nominal fee to cover the cost of the food for this event. That would be like asking A-Rod to put on a home run exhibition and then asking him to pay for the baseballs he hits out of the park. Even though his cheap ass makes millions what do you think he would say to that request? Just imagine the look on his face. A major league disappointment on this one if you ask me.
