Scene & Herd Square Meal

PAT BERTOLETTI WINS KRYSTAL SQUARE-OFF AT LENOX: They’d never allow this sort of thing at Phipps.
Though it lacks the prestige of competitive hot dog eating (record: 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes), the implied anal torture of competitive jalepeño eating (record: 247 in eight minutes), or the incredulity of competitive cow brain eating (record: 17.7 pounds in 15 minutes), competitive hamburger eating is the pro-eating’s hot new sport.
Witness Saturday’s Atlanta Krystal Square Off qualifier at Lenox, where a crowd gathered to watch pro-eaters Krystal’s signature miniature burgers. The easy winner was Pat Bertoletti. The second-ranked eater in the world, Bertoletti consumed 66 Krystals in just eight minutes, earning him a spot at September 27’s $50,000 world championship in Chattanooga.

That's the grossest picture I've ever seen and I didn't even change the channel when Bear Grylls ripped rotting Zebra flesh off of the animal's ribcage with his teeth during an episode of "Man vs. Wild."
