What's Grosser Than Gross?

Seattlest completely scooped spanning_time on a pair of eating competitions that occurred this past weekend as part of the Ballard Seafoodfest. We were too busy hanging with the hipsters, so we didn't even hear about it until it was all over. Thing is, we don't feel so bad. We're fans of eating competitions, and we hold an unhealthy reverence for all things Kobayashi, but while eating 54 hot dogs in 12 minutes or 67 Krystal burgers (think White Castle) in 8 minutes seems glorious, eating lye-swollen fish just seems...gross. Go read that post for the evidence. Ew.
