Slurp! Oyster-eating champ downs 35 dozen (AP)
From The Associated Press via msnbc.com
NEW ORLEANS - Patrick "Deep Dish" Bertoletti looked down at the litter of empty oyster shells in front of him and savored the sweet taste of victory. For Crazy Legs Conti, the bitter taste of defeat could be washed away only by beer.
The Acme World Oyster Eating championship belt — leather, with a silver dish featuring an oyster on the half-shell — hung on Bertoletti's skinny hips. The 22-year-old Chicago resident took the title Saturday by slurping 35 dozen of the big bivalves in eight minutes.
A dozen professional eaters who compete in Major League Eaters events year-round squared off at the French Quarter Festival on Saturday.
