Major League Eaters Ingest Major Amounts of Corned Beef

Earlier today at Gallagher’s Steakhouse on West 52nd Street, some of the top Major League Eaters gathered around an obscene amount of corned beef sandwiches to see who could eat the most. Pat "Deep Dish" Bertoletti (sporting the mohawk) took the $10,000 prize home after a ingesting an impressive 8 lbs of meat (16 3/4 sandwiches), beating out Joey "Jaws" Chestnut, the reigning Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Champ, who "only" ate 15 1/2 sandwiches. The numbers alone are enough to induce meat sweats! Anyone up for Katz's?

Well it's fitting that someone named Pat won in this St. Patrick's Eve event.

Was health food nut-in-chief Bloomberg consulted about this?

Corned beef tatses great but you can keep the boiled cabbage, it smells like sweaty socks. Slainte.

Thay rye bread'll kill ya.

I love good corned beef, but 8 pounds? Plus bread??? I couldn't finish that in a whole day.

I'm sure you could. It would only require a little effort on your part. That and a good laxative afterwards.

This sheer display of disgusting gluttony makes me sick. They should be all shot...

wait, wrong post. Thought this was the AIG post...

How much did the scrawny chick eat?

...just wondering...

Why not let some folks who could actually use a meal enter these gorge fests?

My Cholesterol jumped about 60 points just looking at that.
