H Street Festival Events: Italian Ice Eating Contest
Another fun sounding event for the H Street Festival comes from Taylor Gourmet & Steak & Ice. Down more of the homemade water ice from Steak & Ice than your competitors and take home a gift card & bragging rights.

Eating contests are offensive on many levels. First, there are starving people around the world and in our own neighborhood. Wouldn't the community be better served by donating the food to the needy? Secondly, eating as fast as you can isn't good for you. Morbid obesity anyone.
I just dont get why someone thinks it is fun to watch. Maybe the July 4th hotdog contest is entertaining because you have heard of the competitors and someone might pull an upset. Or maybe even at a small town fair, Big Jimbo might win every year and he is a small time celebrity. But why would I watch random people do this?

That may be true for contests like the Chupacabra contest but we're talking about italian ice here. sounds kind of hilarious, actually.
