During the initial round, which will begin at 6:30PM, our First Responders from around the county will go head-to-head in their own round where one colossal eater will win the proceeds from the entry fees plus free entry for the public round and 10% of the bar sales for the night. Not to mention, full bragging rights. Then, during the public round, entrants will eat their way to glory where the winner will be awarded a new, pristine Defeat the Meat Championship belt, $200 in cold, hard cash and an order of pigs on the wing everyday for a full year.
The competition is going to be lit, and the atmosphere will be jovial, so even if you aren’t into shoving tons of spicy ribs into your gut, come on down and cheer on the competitive eaters! There is nothing more American than shouting at people while they try and eat more food than is reasonable, after all! Plus, you can come in and take advantage of the specials that night. The Bud Light special will be $3 pints / $10 pitchers. And of course, there will be pigs on the wing! $10 regular order or $8 if you dare to try the suicide sauce that the competitors are eating!
