Isle Biloxi PB&B Sandwich Eating World Championship

Location: Biloxi, MS
Date: 01-08-2011
Winner: Pat Bertoletti

The Isle Casino Hotel Biloxi was rocking once again for the start of the 2011 Major League Eating season. A star-studded lineup of eaters turned out not only for the $5,000 prize purse the Isle put up, but also to witness Beautiful Brian don The King's attire for four song tribute set to Elvis on his birthday weekend. After the concert, the PB&B's were piled high in Elvis' honor as the 10-minute Isle Biloxi Peanut Butter & Banana Eating World Championship neared.

Seven of the top-20 eaters (and eleven of the top-50) in the world were in attendance including three-time Isle of Capri eating champion Pat "Deep Dish" Bertoletti and defending PB&B champ the "Notorious B.O.B." Bob Shoudt. Sonya Thomas was expected, but travel delays forced her out of the contest, opening the door for the likes of Badlands, Juliet Lee, Nathan Biller and Adrian Morgan to increase their standings.

In the end, Bertoletti edged out the B.O.B. by a single sandwich - 28-27 - capturing the $1,500 first-place check along with the Isle's Championship Crown. Post contest, Bertoletti vowed to abstain from eating another PB&B until the 3rd annual contest at the Isle Biloxi in 2012.

Turning heads, however, was surprise third-place finisher, Aaron Osthoff (18.5 PB&B's) from Dubuque, Iowa. Osthoff burst onto the MLE Circuit in September with an impressive fourth-place finish in Brats at Oktoberfest Zinzinnati followed by another respectable finish at the Isle Bettendorf Maid-Rite Sandwich Eating Championship. For his finish at the Isle Biloxi, Osthoff won $1,000.

Local favorite Adrian Morgan, who now sits as the 14th-ranked eater in the world, made a name for himself at the Isle Biloxi in 2010...could 2011 be Osthoff's year?

The Isle Biloxi World PB&B Sandwich Eating World Championship marks the first of several eating contests that will take place at Isle of Capri properties in 2011.
