Paniyiri Greek Festival Honey Puff Eating Contest 20 May 2012 Results

Results:

Large crowds gathered for the 4 qualification rounds, with the winner of each round securing themselves a place in the main stage final.

And for the final, on the main stage in front of a crowd of thousands, Ben Rag, Colin MacLaurin, Charlie Dearden and Mitchell each sat down to a bowl of 25 honey puffs each. The challenge: To eat as many of the 2012 Paniyiri Honey Puffs as possible in 60 seconds.

In their winning heats, Ben ate 15, Charlie ate 10, Mitchell 14, and Colin 19. This being Ben’s 5th year competing, he wasn’t prepared to face up to a current Competitive Eating champion!

Mitchell was lucky to be included. After not showing up 10 minutes prior to the competition, his position was filled by a replacement Greg Yates. His appearance at 3:04pm saw his replacement retired and had him seated for the final.

After a gruelling 60 seconds of honey puff eating, Colin came out the clear winner with 18 honey puffs, followed closely by Ben with 14.

Colin took home the title and first prize, an overnight stay at Emporium. Congratulations Colin on your second event win!

“El Diablo” Chilli Con Carne Eating Contest, Pickled Cactus Restaurant, Gold Coast, Queensland

Calling all those with stomachs of steel! Biggera Waters is home to the “El Diablo Challenge”, the World’s Hottest Chilli con Carne challenge. Brave contestants battle each other through several rounds, each of which delivers an even spicier version of the Mexican dish. Last year’s winner vomited 16 times before he was finally crowned!

Paul, the chef at the Pickled Cactus holds the secret recipe tight to his chest, but he assures us it’s the hottest thing you’ll ever eat. Just last night 3 people came to face the challenge, took one spoonful, then threw in the towel and sought refuge in a bucket of Coronas.

Anyone can take the challenge at any time, large group bookings essential. Sounds like a seriously hot challenge!

Mussel-Eating Contest, Belgian Beer Cafe, Melbourne, Victoria

If shellfish is more your thing, the Belgian Beer Cafe in Melbourne offers an alternative Australia Day cake-hole shoving event. Three heats run throughout the day, with a final at 5.10pm. Steer clear if you’re a spectator, we reckon this one could get pretty messy!

Unfortunately, Australia Day 2011 was the last time this event was run, and there are no further plans to run the event in the future.
