Pat "Deep Dish" Bertoletti
continued his torrid pace with his 5th win of the 2009
season after downing 6.625 pounds of fried calamari in
10 minutes at Mallie's Sports Grill Saturday afternoon.
The mark set a record for the calamari discipline as
this contest was the first officially sanctioned bout
with the fried food. In second w/6.3125 pounds was
"Humble" Bob Shoudt.
Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas was
a close third with 6.125 pounds and Crazy Legs Conti
rounded out the money winners with 3.4375 pounds.
The energy was palpable inside the popular Southgate, MI
sports bar as the World Calamari Eating Championship
was
part of the Guinness Burger Weekend festivities.
