Curley's Fries Eating World Championship

Location: Wildwood, NJ
Date: 05-31-2010
Winner: Bob Shoudt

Bob Shoudt capped off a busy weekend with his second win in three days at the Curley's Fries Eating World Championship from Morey's Piers on Memorial Day. Shoudt, who two days before won a Nathan's qualifier (and on Friday lost to Jimmy John's sandwich makers), found a way to stave off #4-ranked Pat Bertoletti by a tenth of a pound. Shoudt's 7.9 lbs were good for the win and the $1,250 top prize provided by Morey's Piers.

Bertoletti and Shoudt are frequent rivals at the MLE table and Curley's Fries at Morey's Piers marked the fourth time this season they met in the same contest. Shoudt, having lost all three previous 2010 encounters, wouldn't let his busy weekend end on a sour note though.

Sean "Flash" Gordon ate 6 lbs to finish in third place and win $500.

The Curley's Fries Eating World Championship was part of the 1st annual Curley's Fries Festival at Morey's Piers. It was held on Surfside Pier outside Morey's new restaurant Joe's Fish Co which celebrated its opening.
