Humble Bob Eats Victory!
MASON, Ohio - A man nicknamed "Humble Bob" stuffed himself with 11.5 pounds of a local specialty called chili-spaghetti in only about 10 minutes to claim victory in a holiday eating contest. Bob Shoudt won $2,500 at the inaugural Skyline Chili Spaghetti eat off Monday at Kings Island amusement park.
"Humble Bob" dashed to an early lead, sucking down more than two pounds in less than a minute.
Shoudt, of Philadelphia, is ranked No. 5 by the International Federation of Competitive Eating.
He did so well at vacuuming up the pasta mixture Monday that he narrowly beat the federation's top ranked competitive eater, Joey Chestnut. Chestnut won this year's July 4th hot dog eating contest at New York's Coney Island with 59 dogs in 10 minutes.
