The winner of this contest is my BIL's cousin. Patrick currently is ranked 3rd or so on the world "competitive eating" tour. Rich also has a cousin who is a roller derby queen (for real! It's a very colorful family.
 )I am essentially a life-long Midwesterner (moved to Kansas at age 3), and I have never "gotten" grits. Somebody explain the appeal to me! grits-eating contest As for the whole competitive eating thing -- that can be another discussion -- I personally think it's kind of gross and sends multiple bad messages. But Patrick is normal weight, and his biggest competition is a 105-lb. woman! He uses the money to pay his tuition. Joseph McCarthy of red-scare fame paid his way through my alma mater's law school with his poker winnings, so I suppose this is a little better.  CB |

Grits and hash browns scattered, smothered, and covered were one of my all time faves at the Waffle House.

I saw a program on TLC called "Battle of the Buffets" and I first thought it was comparing the different Las Vegas buffets! WRONG!
It was a competitive eating contest-there was a woman in it but she was eliminated after about the 3rd round. For dessert they had a whole cake, a gallon of ice cream.... I couldn't do that! ocd |
