Online Poker Isn’t Great For Your Diet
People often tie in Las Vegas with excess and over the top stories, and it certainly seemed to be the case when we heard about Joey Chestnut! This eating machine made the Vegas headlines when he took part in the first ever Martorano’s Masters Meatball Eating Competition. Yes, you did read that correctly, a meatball eating competition! Steve Martorano, the restaurant owner came up with the idea and explained that he was undecided on whether to have a cheese steak eating competition or a meatball eating competition. Apparently though they are pretty well known for their superb meatballs. Gourmet magazine said we have the best meatballs in the world in 2007.”
Joey Chestnut’s efforts have even managed to break the World Record meatball consumption when he amazingly ate 50 meatballs weighing 6.25lbs in a staggering time of ten minutes. The competition took place at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Vegas and was a Major League Eating-sanctioned competition. The competition prize wasn’t to be sniffed at either because the winner was set to take home 1500 US Dollars. Joey is quite an achiever in competitive eating contests, so the result wasn’t totally unexpected. During previous competitions, he has taken first prize for eating pizzas, chicken and hotdogs!
One rule of the competition was that they weren’t allowed to use their hands and had to use utensils! Joey who is over six feet tall and weighs in at a mighty 218lbs only managed to grab the title by just one meatball, and coming in second place was Pat Bertolli who ate 49 balls. Third place prize went to Sonya Thomas, who for this contest was a bit of a flyweight as she only weighs in at 105 pounds, but managed to still consume 42 meatballs. Possibly we have a future contender for winning the contest, or perhaps she was just pretty hungry after her poker table games!
Perhaps she could have a go at playing online poker at home. That way she could eat and play until her heart is content. Rakeback, Full Tilt Rakeback and Pokerstars Rakeback are all games she could sign up to. Mind you I bet if she ate and played at home her weight wouldn’t stay at just 105 pounds for long!

Songs my father taught me £8.70 Sir Thomas Allen makes the point in a note with Songs my Father Taught Me, a delightful collection of 25 ballads that he rates it beside his many recordings of music heavyweights like Wagner and Verdi. There is no need to justify his enthusiasm, for it is clear from the outset that he treats the music with the sort of complete respect that has made him one of our most-loved singers. It is too easy… |
