That’s right. I ate 23 spring rolls in 2 minutes, putting me over the top against Brock Huard, the former Seahawk, who ate 21 spring rolls. Dino Rossi ate 8 spring rolls, and Dow Constantine had a paltry 6.

Kelly O was there to take photos. Here is a photo of Geo of the Blue Scholars fondling my trophy:

Here is a detail of the nice plush work on the trophy:

And here I am, my mouth still full of the additional two spring rolls I ate as a victory lap:

Kelly also took video, which will be online tomorrow is available here.

  1. That’s impressive. I know the tater tot king of denver: his strategy is to mush all the tots together then eat them like a big apple; I guess that wouldn’t really work with spring rolls though.

  2. Woooo!

    You beat The Brock!! And WTF.. Dino could only manage a measly 8!?!?! That is a piss-poor GOP showing, I say. But back to business:

    Wooooooo!!!

  3. Jesus Christ you are ugly. Do you have to be a retarded/chubby/pseudo-hipster to work at the Stranger? Never trust chubby cocaine addicts. There is just something… not right.

  4. @12
    Paul Constant is adorable, clearly this is a picture of him chewing. Do you look good chewing? Also don’t take the lord’s name in vain

  5. superman indeed….dino rossi clearly was just there to be seen, photo op style. i mean 8 spring rolls? i could eat 8 spring rolls in 10 seconds let alone 2 whole minutes.

  6. Oh, tremendous news. I hope the heartburn’s not too bad.

    Also – Rossi only managed 8? What’s wrong with the man? Does he have some kind of blockage?

  7. You were truly heroic, Paul. Good call on the snap button shirt w/ the Superman shirt beneath it.

    I thought Brock was a shoo-in. I caught Geo on the way out the door and he mentioned that you actually know pro gurgitators. I should have put my money on you.

  8. That (Paul chewing) IS adorable. #20 and #26 actually kind of don’t contradict each other. …although, instead of Down Syndrome, I would just say Paul looks like he’s about 3 years old.

  9. Hats off to Paul. Holy crud did he put those things down! His eating prowess was a wonder to behold, and we couldn’t have been soundly trounced by a nicer guy!

  10. I saw you chumming it up with the eating competition judge (and a professional eater himself) before and after the competition. I smell foul play.

    …or at least some post spring roll flatulence.
