Last Night Do or Donut—There Is No Try
posted by on June 24 at 16:13 PM
The maximun number of donuts a normal human being can consume is seven. This scientific fact was proven during yesterday’s doughnut eating contest, hosted by the Saturday Knights and MCed by our very own Kelly O.
I thought it would be more, but Top Pot donuts aren’t the light-n-fluffy confection clouds that Krispy Kreme are. It was only after trying one of the leftovers that I learned that Top Pot’s specialty is the cakey kind of donut, glazed and hyper-sugary, a deceptively small gut bomb. So seven is actually a lot.
TSK blasted through four songs on Silver Platters’ stage while the four eaters stuffed their faces at a table below. It was a short set and sort of a dubious contest—all four competitors walked away with $25 gift certificates to the store, not to mention bellies full of donuts. Heavy, cakey donuts. Seven apiece. Urgh.
But hey, when the Saturday Knights play a free set, everyone wins.
*Update: Apparently our food columnist Angela Garbes cooked dinner for several friends on Saturday night after the contest, including one of the donut eaters. Wonder what was on the menu.
four songs? there is a book floating around this town that suggests 20 minute sets build buzzes and make sensations. i can eat 700 donuts.
it was a hell of a lot of fun to watch... and TSK was badass
Fun Times... although I was hoping to get a money puk'n shot... none of those all these guys kept it in...
Good Times!
