The 8th Annual Smoke’s Poutinerie World Poutine Eating Championship

Location: Toronto, ON
Date: 10-14-2017
Winner: Carmen Cincotti, with 20.25lb of poutine in 10 mins!

CINCOTTI TAKES POUTINE CROWN!

Carmen Cincotti ate 20.25lb of Smoke’s Poutinerie poutine in 10 minutes to claim the 8th Annual Smoke’s Poutinerie World Poutine Eating Championship. It is his first victory at the event, having finished second in 2016. His victory was as thorough as it was complete—he led from the outset and never looked like being beat.

Cincotti was candid in his comments to the assembled media throng after the event, stating, “I close my eyes and keep shoving it down. I wish there was a technique—the gravy really softens up the food so you just put it in your mouth and it can go right down. This is one of my favorite contests, for sure. It really speaks to the food itself.”

That should come as no surprise to anyone who has enjoyed Smoke’s Poutinerie poutine in casual, civilian setting. This rich concoction of French fries, curds and gravy is delicious.

A tip of the boater to Darron Breeden, who managed 15.5lb of poutine in 10 minutes on debut in this event. One imagines he will improve on this total in future years. Gideon Oji ate 13.75lb for third; Miki Sudo was elegant and graceful and hungry, eating 13lb for fourth. Others ate less, but that’s totally okay.
