Joey, Sonya, and Rich kicked some ass. With each gyoza being close to 1 oz. both Joey and Sonya ate around 12 pounds in 10 minutes. Damn. You know I really didn't feel too bad about this contest although I didn't win any money with the breakout being very top heavy. It was tough standing next to Joey and trying to keep up in the beginning, it took me a while to get in to any kind of rhthym, in fact the last plate was going down faster than the first. I definitely had more in the tank and just needed to wake up my insides.
This contest was at noon and I definitely prefer contests to be later in the day since I rarely eat much before noon on non-contest days. Anyway, if I get a chance to eat dumplings in a contest again, I will certainly be faster building on this experience.
