Nashville Square Off
| The finals for the Nashville Krystal Square off is today at 3pm. I wasn't sure if that east Eastern or Central time, but since it hasn't started yet, I assume it's Central time zone. If you're near your computer in the next 45 minutes and have a high speed web connection, hop on over to krystalsquareoff.com and give it a peek. (The web cam link is on the right side of the page.) As you may have heard Joey Chestnut (who many feel is the "great white hope" of competitive eating) put away 28 Krystals in 2 minutes a month or so back. Another eater, "Humble Bob" Shoudt said on one of the competitive eaters message boards (yes, they do have those) that 28 was no big deal and he could do that, too. Many laughed at the boast, but this weekend, Bob did just that: 28 Krystals in 2 minutes. With tying the record, Bob locked up a seat at today's regional finals table. With that dramatic finish, he's geared up to go after the American record or perhaps the world record today. It might be worth tuning in! Personally, I will be sitting here watching via the web. I'll have some Tums and maybe some Pepto here as well, because with that many Krystals I think I may have sympathy indigestion.  |
