San Antonio Macho Burrito results
Las Palapas 25th anniversary Macho Burrito contest results from Dan Calderón:
10 hungry hopefuls scarfed down two of Las Palapas’ famed Macho Burritos. The three fastest times were rewarded with checks for $1,000, $500 and $250.
Chris Flores, a 32-year-old San Antonio resident who lives near Helotes, won the top prize of $1,000 and set a new record by finishing his Macho Burritos in 68 seconds. Flores said it was his first eating contest.
Adolph Perez, a 19-year-old Converse resident who played right guard for the Judson High School football team last season, took the $500 second place prize. Perez, who is studying radiology at St. Philip’s College, took 1 minute, 15 seconds to finish the two one-pound burritos.
The $250 third-place prize went to San Antonio’s John Smavely, a 19-year-old construction worker with Handy Solutions. Smavely also was entering his first eating contest.
