Coed Chickwich Challenge co-champions

The Harvard student newspaper has an article about the Chickwich Challenge, which entails eating 12 chickwich patties in 12 different dining halls on the Harvard campus (only one bun must be consumed). Two sophomore females, Katherine Tan and Michela DeSantis attempted the challenge and both finished in 2 hours and 43 minutes. As the challenge progressed, the rules were liberalized:

By the time the contestants reached Quincy, they were fading quickly, and a new rule was instituted: each is permitted to approach two strangers and ask them to take one bite out of her chickwich. Though both contestants hesitated to demand this favor of strangers, the thought of less chickwich ultimately won.

DeSantis walked to the end of the dining hall and patiently explained her predicament.

“Is this for some kind of experiment?” asked one doubtful diner.

“No,” DeSantis quickly assured, hoping that the kind soul would agree to her offer.

    Rhonda Evans can defend herself all night long regarding her identity but until she surfaces at some competitive eating contest with a drivers license or some sort of ID proving who she really is, then there will always be speculation that she is some ficticious character created by OJ Rifkin with a proxy IP to boot. The name “Evans” is from the 70’s show Good Times and OJ Rifkin is a big fan and historian of tv sitcoms past and present . If this post doesnt appear then it is obvious someone has something to hide

    As far as me knowing so much about CE (which is far less than it appears), aside from my having followed it since this millenium began, it’s partly because I’m so very eatfeats-educated. 🙂

    The smarter eaters/posters helped to broaden my knowledge on eating theory and training. The dumb ones set examples on what not to say and do, before, during, and after competition, as well as on this site.

    So I welcome even the most stupid comments, like those from anonymous 11:23, above–great job guy!
