Eating at the Big Eat

Found out about a sausage eating contest at the Big Eat, an event in Denver where 36 restaurants got together in one place to let the attendees sample some of their food. $25 for all the food you want to try.

Biker Jim's Gourmet Dogs put on the sausage eating contest. We'd be eating boar sausage for 8 minutes. There was a full field of 10 contestants. Turns out 7 of them were local restaurant-connected people who were in the contest just to be in it. Me, Mark, and Mary Bowers were throwing down.

The sausages were not warm. And the boar was much more chewy than the veal sausages we ate last October for charity in the contest with Joey.

But good times. Mark took it with 17, I got 13 down, and Mary - yellow dress, and oh those shoes - with 11. The other contestants spanned from 8 or so to 1 or 1/2.

T-bonz had a less than ideal spot for photos.
