The Creek Indian Taco Eating Contest at Wind Creek’s THROW DOWN

Location: Atmore, AL
Date: 03-29-2014
Winner: Matthew Stonie

MATTHEW "THE MEGATOAD" STONIE SETS NEW WR WITH 32.5 CREEK INDIAN TACOS IN 8 MINS!

Let it be known that Matthew "The Megatoad" Stonie ate 32.5 Creek Indian Tacos in 8 minutes to win The Creek Indian Taco Eating Contest at Wind Creek’s THROW DOWN. In doing so, he set a new Creek Indian Taco Eating record.

But this gold-place finish came with a platinum lining: He beat Joey. The Great One and The Megatoad are now 2-1 head-to-head in 2014, or 1-2 depending on your perspective. For clarity's sake: Joey 2; Matt 1. In 2013, Stonie lodged three victories over Chestnut. Can he outdo that performance in 2014? Those who witnessed him wrestle the dense, firm Creek Indian taco fry bread bases into submission on this day would say, "Sure. Probably."

Stonie led from the outset and did not tire. He used his exception out-of-the-blocks speed to get the jump on the competition and his exceptional throat strength to overpower the food. He would not be cowed. In coming second, Chestnut remarked, "You can't win them all." It was as much a revelation at how much his universe has changed with Matthew Stonie pushing him in each and every contest in which they square off. No rest. No easy wins. No holiday. This is Chestnut's world in 2014.

Other people ate less than Stonie and Chestnut.

Following the contest, Ms Gretchen Wilson rocked the house with her trademark country sound. MLE particularly enjoyed the song "Grandma." It is about a grandmother.
