Hmm, perhaps Gothamist should stop complaining about how much we ate yesterday: Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas won the Thanksgiving Invitational at Artie's Deli by eating 4 pounds, 3.1 ounces of turkey in 12 minutes. And she's only 100 pounds! The prize was $2,500 and the satisfaction of beating beating a lot of beefy men. It's unclear whether or not gravy or cranberry sauce was allowed to make the turkey go down faster, or whether Starbucks sponsored the post-chowdown coffee as 4 pounds of turkey means a lot of tryptophan.
And the International Federation of Competitive Eaters donated twenty meals for families of four.





this is sick. competetive eating on a day when so many are hungry and go without. twenty meals donated? big deal.
Did you donate anything, S?
Yes. Volunteered during the day before having Thanksgiving with my family. We do the same thing on X-mas day, too. Dunna, what did you do?
But whatever I do, I don't eat food for sport while other people go hungry.
