La Costeña "Feel the Heat" Jalapeño Eating Challenge (Chicago 9/13):
Attendees were certainly treated to a heated finish. In the sudden death match, (last year’s champ) Pat “Deep Dish” Bertoletti felt the sting of Sonya "The Black Widow” Thomas. She bested him by 10 peppers (eating a total of 250), and setting a new tournament record. Rounding out 3rd place was Eric “Badlands” Booker with 158.
Krystal Square Off VI Qualifer (Birmingham 9/12):
Badlands fared much better in the burger category. He downed a whopping 26 Krystals and 5 big angus burgers to earn 51 Krystal points. This puts Booker in prime position for the final eat-off on September 27th. Erik Unger placed second with 42 pts.
