Food Is Free If You Beat This Summit Eating Competition

By Jason Koestenblatt

New Jersey is known for its diners, eclectic food choices, fine dining and everything in between.

It’s also making a name for itself in the world of competitive eating. And what’s better than great food, than free food?

Onlyinyourstate.com, a website dedicated to making useful lists in various categories identifying states’ specialties, has released a new Garden State piece about the nine restaurants in New Jersey where beating an eating challenge means the tab is taken care of.

See the full article here.

The list of restaurants and their eating challenges include:

Johnny G’s Pizzeria, Toms River: Eat a 32-inch pizza in less than an hour and the meal is free and the winner receives $250.

The Hat Tavern, Summit: Three burgers, one pound of fries, two-dozen onion rings, five pickles, and a milkshake in less than 30 minutes comes with a free t-shirt, name on a Mad Hatter plaque, and no need to open your wallet.

Sabretti’s Hot Dogs, Hopatcong: 19 hot dogs in 15 minutes is the current record. Eat 30 hot dogs in the same amount of time, and walk out with $1,000.

Clinton Station Diner, Clinton: Team of five has three hours to eat 50-pound “Mount Olympus” burger, or seven-pound Zeus burger as an individual contestant.

The Kibitz Room, Cherry Hill: The GBMF, also known as the Great Big M---, well, you get the idea, is filled with corned beef, pastrami, turkey, roast beef, brisket, and a bunch of fixings, along with one of each pickle, potato salad, and coleslaw ends with a free meal and a spot on the “Wall of Shame.”

Cool Dog Café, Cherry Hill: Gobble down two half-pound “Homewrecker” hot dogs and some fries and the meal is free, along with a complimentary t-shirt and a spot on the wall of fame.

Teplitzky’s, Atlantic City: Eat like a king for breakfast they say. This challenge consists of four pancakes, four French toast slices, six eggs, six pieces of bacon, six pieces of pork roll, four pieces of turkey sausage, hash browns, and four pieces of toast.

Country Club Tavern, Cape May Court House: Finish eight pounds of food, consisting of the Triple Decker Devil Burger, within 60 minutes and the meal is free along with a t-shirt and wall of fame nod.

Rosalita’s Roadside Cantina, Englishtown: It has everything but the kitchen sink (and maybe that’s in there, too). The five-pound Kitchen Sink burrito has to be ingested in 15 minutes for a free meal and t-shirt.
