SHOULD THERE BE AN ANNUAL MATZAH BALL CONTEST?

I'VE PREPARED SOME PICTURES OF THE BENS MATZHA BALL CONTEST OF THE PAST , IT WAS AN ANNUAL WINTER TRADITION IN N.Y. RECENTLY I RETURNED TO BENS TO FIND THE WALLS EMPTY OF ANY TRACE THAT THERE WAS ONCE A MATZHA BALL CONTEST THERE. CAN'T SOME SPONSOR PICK IT UP ? IT WAS THE CONTEST THAT CREATED THE SPORT O F COMPETITIVE EATING ALONG WITH NATHANS . IT WAS AN ANNUAL CHARITY EVENT ALL PROCEEDS WENT TO THE INTERFAITH NUTRITIONAL NETWORK THAT RAN SEVERAL SOUP KITCHENS IN N.Y. NO MONEY WAS TAKEN OUT FOR EXPENSE'S , THERE WERE SEVERAL QUALIFIERS AND IF YOU TRIED TO GET A SPOT IN THE FINALS YOU WENT TO EVERY ONE. THERE WAS AN ENTRY FEE OF $25 WITH THAT YOU GOT 2 ISLANDERS TICKETS , RIGHT BY THE GLASS AND $ 25 IN FOOD GIFT CERTIFICATE .THOSE WERE THE DAYS . THE OLD N.Y EATERS GREATLY MISS IT ..END DON LERMAN

You lose no matter what. If the IFOCE doesnt sanction it you get all the rif raf from the aice entering the contest and noone from the IFOCE would participate. If it was sanctioned , some sponsor would pay the way for sonya chestnut or one of the new phenoms. One of those would end up eating 40 or 50 matzah balls and noone else would have a chance of winning. Bad move all around
