This was a great contest. Not only were four out of the top five ranked eaters in the world competing, the crowd and the venue was awesome. The Stockton Asparagus festival is surprisingly large, people in Stockton love their asparagus. Joey and Sonya gave a great performance and the crowd was going crazy. I felt really good during this contest and 4 lbs is more than I have eaten in the past. The asparagus did have some variety, some plates were full of huge stocks with a large protion of breading, and other were packed with more skinny stocks with less breading. The asparagus required considerable chewing and is difficult to swallow so although I am dissapointed I didn't get in the money, I did make some big srides in my technique.
After the contest, Pat, Joey and I stand with Joey's newly acquired
oversized first place trophy/crucifix. Definitely the trophy has
to rival as one of the most elaborate and coveted on the circuit
I will post more pictures from the actual contest when I get them...
