GoldenPalace.net World Series of Competitive Eating at the North Dakota State Fair

NORTH DAKOTA! State Bird: Western Meadowlark State Flower: Wild Prairie Rose State Tree: American Elm Nicknames: Peace Garden State/Flickertail State/Roughrider State Favorite Food: RHUBARB PIE

The North Dakota State Fair played host to eaters from all over the country on July 29, when GoldenPalace.net sponsored the first-ever IFOCE Rhubarb Pie-eating contest. Many people outside of the region find rhubarb to be unknown and quite mysterious, which could have given the advantage to the local competitors.

However, Pat Bertoletti once again proved himself master of pies by eating 7.9 lbs of strawberry rhubarb pie in 8 minutes. He was followed by Donavon Busta and Doug Plesuk, who tied for second, and Mike Crouse who took home 3rd.
