Hog Happenin'

Well, Tomorrow's the big day. My first big event as an unpaid intern. I'm excited about the eating contests which will be tomorrow from 8-9, and then Saturday from 12-1:30. The contests are set up with five eaters, chosen from people who had signed up and whoever eats the item the fastest will win a free t-shirt, bbq, or beverage bucks. On Friday, there will be Pizza and Wings from Court Street Grill, Donuts from the 36th Street Bakery, and Pies from Bi-Lo. Saturday will be the same, but with my new discovery that June 7th is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day, I had to add that to the competition; therefore, the final eating competition will be the Melamoose Chocolate Ice Cream and will have eight eaters pining for the right to claim the prize of being the Lincolnton Chocolate Ice Cream Champion.

It will be fun, and hopefully everyone will have a good time.

On another note, I did practice my hot dog technique the other day. I did not use Nathan's however for my waistline, and wallet, I bought the low fat, 40 calorie Oscar Myer's Dogs. I know it will be totally different, but I had to make that sacrafice.

So here I am, sitting in the Business and Economic Development of Lincolnton, NC in my cozy little office doing unpaid work. I don't mind the unpaid part because: a) I suppose it will help me in the future. b) although gas is expensive, I only live approximately five minutes away, and could ride my bike if i wanted. c) I've gotten a few free meals, and will get another today. and most importantly: d) I am helping to organize the eating competitions for the 8th annual Hog Happenin'!

These competitions are no where on par with the IFOCE or AICE however, they will be great. As of right now, I am working on getting local restaurants to donate food to be gurgitated. My predictions of food will be: pizza, hot wings, hot dogs and pies. There will be two sets of competitions, one on friday june 6 at 8, and one on saturday june 7 time tba.

I still need to work on my hot dog eating skills for Myrtle Beach on June 21st!!!
I have to go now...
More to come later!

anticipation!

We cannot wait for:

MLE: The Game


Nathan's to release dates for the qualifying tour. Hopefully there will be one in Charlotte this summer seeing as we ae complete idiots and missed it last summer!

Sweet summer and our favorite holiday, Independence Day!

KSO V. and multiple qualifiers! (and possibly giving a qualifier a try? we'll have to see about that.)

The Hog Happenin' in Lincolnton, NC (which offers amature eating competitions!) that we have yet to visit in our deprived years of living there.

And hopefully many many more great food moments and memories of the 2008 season to come!

Can't get enough of that mexican cuisine!

Hungry sisters can't get enough of chips and salsa from Mazatlan! (THE best mexican resturant in the history of mexican resturants. located in Lincolnton, NC)

North Brook Tornado

The North Brook Tornado is a delightful heart attack in a bun.

It is a hot dog, wrapped in bacon and deep fried, with chilli and slaw in a big ole bun. It is found in a local resturant of western lincoln county, NC called Mitchem's Kitchen (GREAT bbq btw.) and named after the area (and elementary school) in that side of town.

The n.b.t has been a legend among my friends and I, and eventually we decided to put my eating to the test. We decided 6-6-06 would be the day i would eat a North Brook Tornado (and because of that particular day, I named it satan's weiner.) although i dont plan on eating it often, it wasnt bad.
