Announcing (perhaps) the Inaugural Sabbatai Tzvi Memorial Latke Eating Contest, to take place during the Chicago Open weekend, likely on Friday after the July Crisis history doubles, in a location to be determined. Entry fee is $10 per person, with a field size and rules to be decided based on how much latke batter I decide I can prepare that afternoon. The likely format will be something along the lines of "eat as many latkes as possible within n minutes", where n is in [3,5]. To register, post in this thread or email me at [email protected]. This will be canceled if I do not make it to CO, if I don't get permission from the parents to bring the Cuisinart and electric skillet to CO, or I decide this is too absurd to pull off.

Field:
Greg Peterson
Matt Weiner

Eh... not sure if I'll be doing this.

post expressing vague interest

I'll volunteer to help with prep, logistics and possibly a cuisinart if you'd like...

Same. I won't eat a shit ton, but making a shit ton is always fun.

LATKES! Evan, I bet you my sister's latkes are like 50 million times better than yours.

I may do this.

There is no question that I will participate in and win this competition.

Edit: Does the entry fee have to be paid in Jew gold?

I guess I'll do this. I'm a lightweight though.

I'll take you down, Kwartler.

Will this be a certified Competitive Eating event?

If this happens, there pretty clearly will be an announcing crew, and maybe someone has a cheap camcorder?

Heck, if they can do this with ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike in the Morning, I better see this on Youtube. :)

Ben Cohen and I are in. YES!

I'm in.

You bitches are about to get Goyowned!

MaS

I'll try it out.

Nah, I'm going to reduce food consumption prior to the event, to make sure I don't lose to a goy...

Hm, so given recent discussion about how busy this whole CO shindig is going to be, I'm leaning towards canceling this. If anyone can think of a way to squeeze a latke-eating contest in without me having to make the batter either in the car or at 2am, you should let me know. Otherwise, I'll run a latke-eating contest at some unspecified occasion in the future.

How about at Harvard Open?

If meth labs can be operational in moving vans, there's no reason you can't cook actual food in them.

That sounds plausible; I'll keep that in mind.

Fix'd. Also good because this might attract more teams to come (not like there isn't AMPLE REASON ALREADY.

How about at Minnesota Open?

HI is more likely because Harvard is notably a 2-hour drive from my own educational institution, as opposed to...far.
