MASON, Ohio - A man nicknamed "Humble Bob" stuffed himself with
11.5 pounds of a local specialty called chili-spaghetti in only
about 10 minutes to claim victory in a holiday eating contest.
Bob
Shoudt won $2,500 at the inaugural Skyline Chili Spaghetti
eat-off Monday at Kings Island amusement
park.
Shoudt, of Philadelphia, is ranked No. 5 by the International
Federation of Competitive Eating.
He did so well at vacuuming up the pasta mixture Monday that he
narrowly beat the federation's top-ranked competitive eater,
Joey
Chestnut. Chestnut won this year's July 4 hot dog-eating
contest at New York's Coney
Island with 59 dogs in 10 minutes.
