ESPER SMASHES 10-MINUTE TAMALE RECORD!
Major League Eating is proud to announce our return to the great city of Lewisville, TX, for the 2019 Western Days Festival World Tamale Eating Championship. There is no better place to enjoy this delicacy, so beloved by the great people of Texas. Major League Eaters are warmly encouraged to sign up for a chance to compete in this true stalwart and legend of the MLE circuit.
At last year’s contest, Darron Breeden ate 70 two-ounce tamales in 10 minutes. In doing so, he earned his second world record-setting performance of his burgeoning career in the 10-minute, two-ounce tamales discipline. This record will be on the line at this year’s Championship.
Do you dare challenge the great Breeden in the discipline he has owned since its inception? (True, it’s only been a year, but the logic holds.) Do you wish to challenge yourself and the greatest eaters in the world against tamale after tamale after tamale? Do you simply want to watch the best in the world do what they do so well? Then sign up today! This is the 2019 Western Days Festival World Tamale Eating Championship! Don’t you ever miss it!
