Pancake eating contest at Pete’s Grille

By ALEXA KWIATKOSKI | November 15, 2012

Looking for a fun way to gain weight this weekend? Want to drown your too-much homework sorrows in pounds of delicious food?

Then how about a pancake eating contest?

Well, you’re in luck, because there’s one this weekend!

Pete’s Grille, a local Baltimore restaurant located on Greenmount Avenue is hosting its 21st annual competition this Friday the 16th of November.

The event starts at 7 a.m. so get up early.

The entrance fee is only $20. Not bad for a whole bunch of big fluffy pancakes!

And if the pancakes themselves aren’t enough of an incentive, there will be a $500 cash prize for the winner of each division.

You can sign up for the contest 7 days a week during regular business hours at Pete’s Grille.

But don’t get too excited if you’re a professional competitive eater (as I’m sure many of you are). The event is only for amateurs.

So all you wannabe eating contestants, don’t worry, you have a shot.

And if you’re a girl, don’t be intimidated. There’s a special division for women. Last year the winner ate 12 pancakes.

Think you can beat that, ladies? Then join in the competition and show off your stuff.

It’s easy money, and Pete’s Grille is renowned for their breakfast foods.

Come out to Waverly this Friday morning and eat your way to victory. You could walk away with glory and even $500!
