I won first place among eight people in a mashed potato-eating competition at Greenlake on Sunday November 22.
It was sponsored by Greenlake Bar and Grill, a local restaurant. The contest details are here.Here is a facebook video of the event. My strategy was to use water to get the potatoes to slippery consistency and to forego the use of a spoon or table manners.
After I won I was crowned as King of Potato Eaters. Previously on this blog I had documented an event involving eating doughnuts, so I am hoping that this is the start of a trend.
