Get ready for a feast of champions! Major League Eating is thrilled to announce the return of the sensational face-off that captivated the world: The Siegel's Bagelmania World Bagel Eating Championship! With the echoes of the past contest still resounding, we're setting the stage for an even more electrifying showdown in 2024!
In a league of their own, Siegel's Bagelmania has been delighting fans with their quintessential New York-style bagels, bridging the gap between the East Coast and Las Vegas for more than 30 mouth-watering years. These aren’t regular bagels; these are the Best Bagels in Las Vegas voted on by locals and visitors. It's not just a venue; it's the heart of a bagel revolution, and they're hosting a contest that's about much more than eating—it's about making history.
Last year's National Bagel Day was nothing short of legendary. Geoff Esper didn't just participate; he dominated, obliterating records with a staggering 17.75 bagels with cream cheese. But he wasn't alone on the battlefield; titans like Nick Wehry and Miki Sudo were hot on his trail, consuming 14.75 and 12.75 bagels, respectively. Their heroic efforts left us awe-struck and hungry for more.
As we gear up for 2024, anticipation is at an all-time high. Can Esper maintain his reign, or will a new contender rise to seize the crown? Things will prove difficult in 2024, as Joey Chestnut has confirmed he will be ready for battle in Vegas! One thing's for certain: new legends will be born, records strive to be shattered, and the world will watch with bated breath.
So, if you're a contender with your eyes on the prize or a spectator ready to witness bagel-eating glory, there's only one place you belong on National Bagel Day 2024. The Siegel's Bagelmania World Bagel Eating Championship isn't just an event; it's where dreams are made and devoured.
Be part of the legend. Whether you're in it to compete or to cheer, remember: this is not just a competition; it's a testament to the indomitable human spirit—and an insatiable love for bagels and cream cheese. See you there!
