As a late entry into the Five Spot Famous Philly CheeseSteak Fest, "The Lovely" Juliet Lee didn't disappoint by downing 4 1/3 10" Philly CheeseSteaks in 10 minutes in front of the energetic Labor Day Weekend crowd.
In what turned out to be a close race from the opening whistle, Juliet staved off competition to her left and right in the forms of Micah "Wing Kong" Collins and Pat "from Moonachie" Philbin. When the results were ultimately tallied, Philbin saw his hand raised as the 2nd place winner with 4 cheesesteaks and Wing Kong settled for third place after consuming 3 7/8 sandwiches. Up and comer, Jon "The Icebox" Lapolla out of St. Paul, MN just missed the money finishing in fourth place with a respectable 3 3/4 sandwiches consumed.
