PrintDumpling Eating Champions Successfully Defend Titles
As part of the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival yesterday at the Flushing Meadows Park in Queens, men and women shoved as many dumplings in their mouths as they could for two minutes on stage. Both champs of the 5th Annual Chef One Dumpling Eating Contest won last year: for the male division, Joe Menchetti with 66 dumplings (breaking his record of 60) and Floria Lee with 38 dumplings (who couldn't top her last year's record of 43).

there were some seriously pathetic competitors tho: 8 dumplings? c'mon now. but seriously it was pretty gross; the serious competitors poured water over the boiled dumplings in order to soften 'em up, much like the hot-dog-bun-dunk technique. lots of dumpling skin left on face, post-race.
