Eat dumplings, win $1,000 in two minutes
Get your chopsticks ready, folks: The Ninth Annual Dumpling Eating Contest is taking place on Saturday, Sept. 15 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Smorgasburg food festival in Williamsburg.
The competition looks to be stiff: last year the men’s winner covered himself in glory by downing 69 dumplings in two minutes.
The first place winner in each of the men’s and women’s division will receive $1,000. In addition, the East River Ferry — the official transportation sponsor for the event — will match the highest number of dumplings eaten in ferry tickets. Each winner will receive the combined number, adding both the highest men’s and highest women’s scores.
