Date: 09/12/2008
Location: Minute Maid Park
Discipline: Sausage & Cheese Kolaches
Total Prizes: $10,000

Summary:

On September 12, the nation's finest Major League Eaters will converge upon Minute Maid Park for the 2nd Annual Kolache Factory World Kolache Eating Championship. The event will take place directly after the Houston Astros/Chicago Cubs game.

At last year's contest Pat Bertoletti went in with the edge, having competed in the kolache discipline before, but Joey Chestnut took the title with 56 kolaches to Bertoletti's 54. The young chef from Chicago will no doubt be out for vengeance this time around.
