Shoo-Fly Pie Day in Lancaster, Pa is as recognizable as 4th of July in Coney Island, and this year's contest proved to be bigger and better than ever.
The coveted Heavyweight Champion Shoo-Fly Pie Belt went to young Patrick Bertoletti of Chicago. This mohawk-sporting phenomenon missed his graduation from culinary school to participate in the contest, and it proved to be a lucrative decision. Sonya Thomas came in 2nd, followed closely by Humble Bob Shoudt. The purse of $10,000 was doled out to the top seven eaters.
Full Results: Pat Bertoletti: 11.1 lbs/8 min./$4000 Sonya Thomas: 9.3 lbs/8 min./$2000 Bob Shoudt: 9.25 lbs/8 min./$1500 Hall Hunt: 6.74 lbs/8 min./$1000 Juliet Lee: 6.66 lbs/8 min./$750 Brad Sciullo: 6.18 lbs/8 min./$500 Pat Bruss: 5.53 lbs/8 min./$250
