Not that we're trying to promote an anti-Pastor Steve Bod4God agenda here at HPC, but what can you do? These boys are hungry! And I'm sure that we don't have to worry about any of those carbs actually sticking to their innards. Given their fast-paced and energetic plans for the day, they will have easily burned up all those calories before lunch!
For breakfast this morning, our roaming reporter quickly spoted the table with the most promise for claiming this year's eating crown. With a plate full of french toast sticks, sausage, fruit, and orange juice, it was clear right away that the New Jersey cabin wasn't planning on denying themselves a hearty breakfast. As one of the cabins of older boys, it is no suprise that this cabin's counselor will have to eat fast if he hopes to get anything from the food line when his boys rip through. In personal interview one boy from the table claimed he could put away bbq ribs like no one else. We did get a brief moment to interview our champ from two years ago, Caleb Curtis and his brother Shane. Caleb seemed unconcerned about local competition, choosing to eat rather than talk. Typical of a true champion. When we asked his younger brother Shane, if they were concerned that their cousins, River and Beau, eating just two tables down would challenge them, Shane commented that they too could eat a lot, but usually ate too fast and would probably make their stomachs hurt before getting through seconds. Seems like Shane doesn't ascribe to the Joey Chestnut, hot dog eater champion's philosophy of downing as much as you can in as little time as possible. Will slow and steady win the race or with the dash and grab approach steal the title from our reigning champ? Time will only tell (and pancake day on Thurs).
