    OJ, maybe it’s that other Sonya (with the blog) you mentioned a few days ago. Anyway, that Pat Berteli must be a newcomer. Looks like it could be wide open. 🙂

    The “Sonya” is Sonya “The Black Widow” Thomas and “Pat Barteli” is Pat Bertoletti. They recently competed together by eating Acme oysters in New Orleans about two weeks ago. At the oyster event Sonya eked out a victory over Pat by eating 29 dozen and Pat ate 27 dozen. The Dippin Dots contest in Illinois should be fun!!

    Thanks for setting me straight HJP III. I thought Sonya ate closer to 30 dozen (357) oysters, and I thought Pat ate 26 versus 27 dozen. Yeah, she barely eked that one out.

    But everyone knows Pat is the ice cream king, and dippin dots is a form of ice cream. I will be surprised and happy for Sonya if she just has a half-way respectable showing. She has never eaten ice cream in the IFOCE to the best of my knowledge. She may get an early brain freeze. I hope not.

    Sonya says she doesn’t get brain freezes. But, Pat is the ice cream king. And, you’re right, Sonya ate 29 dozen. On the last dozen she left three oysters before time ran out. And, they only count each dozen. She said the oysters were huge this year.
