Mamma DiSalvo’s 3rd Annual Meatball Eating Contest

By

If you think you can eat a lot of meatball you should sign up for Mamma DiSalvo’s 3rd annual Meatball Eating Contest.  It will take place this Sunday at 4pm in Mamma’s parking lot during their car show.  Contestants will have two minutes to chow down on a plate of meatballs.  Winner will win bragging right and a $100 gift certificate to Mamma DiSalvo’s.  You can sign up online, entry costs $10 and will be donated to Tornado Relief.

Many of our past contestants had grand ambition  thinking they  would eat 20-30 meatballs. We’ve learned over the past couple of years that Mamma’s meatballs are so filling that 13 meatballs is the record. Who knows, maybe this year their will be a new record!  If you don’t want to compete, we invite you to join us to cheer on the meatball eaters.  You can even purchase your own small plate of meatballs.

2017 Winner  Kris Mack 13 meatballs

 

 

2018 Josh Kimble 9 meatballs

 

 

How Many Meatballs Can You Eat?

If you think you can eat a lot of meatball you should sign up for Mamma DiSalvo’s 2nd annual Meatball Eating Contest.  On Thursday, March 8th at 6pm in the DiSalvo’s Party Room contestant will have 2 minutes to chow down on as many meatballs as they can. Contestants pay $10 to enter and the winner not only gets bragging rights and a $50 gift certificate to Mamma DiSalvo’s and a gift basket of Mamma’s goodies!  If you think you’ve got a wining appetite you can sign up online to compete this year!  It’s also a timely contest, since March 9th is National Meatball Day!

 

Last year there were 10 men (hopefully some women will sign up this year) who took on the challenge and started out with a plate of a dozen meatballs and were informed they could not use a fork or their hands to eat with.  Many of our contestants had grand ambition  thinking they  would eat 20-30 meatballs. With fans cheering the meat eaters on, Kris Mick was declared the winner eating 13 meatballs!  Kris also won the first winner of the Submarine House Super Duper Cheesesteak Challenge.

Judges for the event will include The Big Ragu from Dayton’s Food Adventure Crew and Dayton.com’s Sarah Franks.
