Queens holds its very own glutton contest

...almost 50 men and women took their chance at becoming this year's Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival Dumpling Eating Contest winners. Each contestant had two minutes to eat all the dumplings they could handle.

Flushing Woman Is Dumpling Eating Contest Winner

Flushing resident Floria Lee ate 33 dumplings to earn the crown as the women's champion. Joseph Menchetti from Connecticut won the men's contest by downing 66 Chef One chicken dumplings in two minutes for his second victory in a row.

Each of the winners took home a trophy and a check for $1,000 from Chef One Food Products.


It's the only eating contest where contestants feel hungry an hour later.

What a high class cultural event...watching moronic contestants stuff their moon faces with dumplings are sure to attract tourism to Queens.

Wadda ya got to say about that
Ms. Terri Osborne?

This is, alas, just a bedroom (dormitory) borough.

If you want culture eat yogurt or travel to Manhattan for the real thing.

You don't exactly see tourists beating a path to Flushing now, do you?

C-mon you jerk-offs....get real!
