A small but enthusiastic Singapore crowd got its first taste of professional eating as the sport's two titans－Takeru Kobayashi and Joey 'Jaws 1' Chestnut 2－made their debut 3 in the city-state.
About 300 competitive eating fans roared as local favorite Kobayashi of Japan slammed home 11 pounds (5 kilograms) of grilled 4 Singaporean chicken "satay" in 12 minutes. California's Chestnut was a distant second, munching 5 down 8.8 pounds (4 kilograms).
The professional eating circuit, known as Major League Eating, was organizing its first contest in Asia, one of about 80 competitions a year in which "gurgatators" wolf down foods such as grits 6, sticks of butter, oysters 7, jalapenos and cow brains, all the while hoping to avoid the dreaded 8 "reversal."The competition forms part of Singapore's bid to fashion the city-state as a more hip 9 and attractive place to live. The event was part of the Singapore Food Festival, which sought to present "unique dining experiences with a host of interactive 10 events.""Singapore rarely gets events like this so I think it's good," said Rachel Tan, a 21-year-old student. "It's entertaining, but I also feel a little sick after watching that."At least one Singaporean was left ecstatic by the event.
Rosalind Sim, 52, won the amateur contest by scarfing down two double cheeseburgers in 12 minutes.
