When all the slurping was done, Bertoletti was the winner, having eaten 21 pounds of mushy grits in just 10 minutes. "I surprised even myself today — beating Joey Chestnut, my good friend and arch-rival, in a contest that tested our stomach capacity like no other," said the chef who also once ate 16 pounds of strawberry shortcake in eight minutes.

I think it's a shame a southerner couldn't win this.
