I was so psyched when my friend Ben told me about the Dumpling Eating Contest at this weekend’s Dumpling Festival in New York. Surely, I could match up with competitive eaters and win the $1000 first prize. Monday night I popped down to Prosperity Dumpling on Eldridge Street and bought 25 dumplings for $5. My training was to begin. After getting friendly with Jah, I was more than prepared to house some dumplings, the record was 66 but, I thought 25 would be a nice way to ease myself into it. The result? after the jump off.
