Congratulations to Ken Wong of Surrey, BC who wins the 1st Annual BURGERS ETC Burger eating contest. 

 

Ken polished off three 12 oz. Burgers in five minutes to win the coveted prize.

 

 Ken will be invited to return next year to defend his title! 

 

Way to go Ken!

 

Final Count:  36 oz. eaten

After eating just over two and a half BURGERS ETC burgers, Scott Campbell finished second by a mere five ounces!

 

Scott had the tough task of going first, but set the bar high and only one person out of fifteen others could match his pace!

 

Scott was a fan favorite and his effort was greatly appreciated!

 

Final Count:  31 oz. eaten

Jor Gutierrez was an instant fan favorite and lived up to the hype by getting two and a half burgers down in only five minutes!

 

Jor had the tough task of having to have a dance off at the end of the contest as he and Nicholas (another competitor) were tied.  Jor brought it with a ‘Shaq’ like dance move, good enough to win 3rd!

 

Final Count:  30 oz. eaten

16 confident, eager and optimistic burger eaters walked into BURGERS ETC. on Sunday, April 23rd, 2006 for the 1st Annual BURGERS ETC burger eating contest, but after trying to down as many burgers as humanly possible in a mere five minutes…  Those smiles soon turned to groans!  All 16 participants were great, consuming more than 23 pounds of burgers in fifteen minutes!

As fun as it was to watch everyone take part, BURGERS ETC was most satisfied with helping out the Walk for MS, and a handful of other charities!  Thank you to all who took part and helped out!
