Competitive eating upsetPosted Jan 21st 2006 12:19PM by Nick VagnoniFiled under: Beef, South Asia, Food OdditiesThe outcome of last week's Hot Springs International Corned Beef Eating Championship have sent shockwaves through the
competitive eating community, according to a recent release from the International
Federation of Competitive Eating. The underdog victor of this Arkansas event was a young Chicago upstart named Patrick Bertoletti, who edged out veterans Sonya
Thomas and Joey Chestnut by taking down 11 Oaklawn corned beef sandwiches in 10 minutes. Thomas and Chestnut, the
second and third ranked competitive eaters in the world, tied with 10.75 sandwiches each and Chestnut eventually won
second place in an overtime match. Bertolleti took home $3,000.
