Friday, March 17, 2006 -- Sonya �The Black Widow� Thomas choked and fittingly a young upstart named Patrick scarfed more than 5 pounds of corned beef and cabbage to win the GoldenPalace.com St. Patty�s Day Eating Championship at Ned Devine�s in Boston �s Faneuil Hall yesterday. Chicago competitive eater Patrick Bertoletti downed 5.75 pounds of corned beef and cabbage in 10 minutes, besting a field of power chowers that included Eric � Badlands � Booker, Tim �Eater X� Janus and local fave �Crazy Legs� Conti of Belmont to win a $2,500 purse. �The competitive eating contests are always fun to watch and are real crowd-pleasers,� said GoldenPalace.com CEO Richard Rowe. �Congratulations to Patrick and all the competitive eaters. And a big thanks to the International Federation of Competitive Eating and the city of Boston for helping make this a successful event.� The GoldenPalace.com competitive eating contests originated from the casino�s famous purchase of the Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich for $28,000 on eBay. The first Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese eating contest was such a success that it quickly spawned a circuit of GoldenPalace.com eating events such as the Valentine�s Day Massacre, a chocolate heart eating competition in Chicago this past Valentine�s Day. The casino�s marketing campaigns and events have become a pop-culture phenomenon, making headlines worldwide and securing GoldenPalace.com as the world�s most recognized online casino. « Back to Sports Events Main Page Comments on this event None yet.
