At the 2014 FIAO Brooklyn Cannoli-Eating Contest, Eric “Badlands” Booker consumed 26.75 cannoli for the win and a $500 cash prize. Tim Janus placed 2nd with 21.75, followed by Crazy Legs Conti with 18. Leo Gioia placed 4th. Full results below. There was initial confusion in the results caused by double plating. Tim Janus immediately reported that his count was increased based on an extra plate (not everyone at the table shared Tim’s sense of ethics). Full results below.
The six-minute contest took place at 3:30 P.M. Eastern, on Saturday, October 11, 2014 in front of Il Centro, FIAO’s new cultural center at 8711 18th Avenue in Brooklyn, NY.
