The Case’s Pork Roll Eating Championship is a Major League Eating sanctioned event featuring some of the top competitive eaters in the world consuming as many Case’s Pork Roll sandwiches as they can in a ten minute competition. At last year’s event, Geoffrey Esper ate 50 four-ounce Case’s Pork Roll sandwiches in 10 minutes to set a new world record in the discipline, smashing the previous mark by seven Pork Roll sandwiches. That record is on the line again.
“The world’s greatest eaters are headed to Trenton, NJ with one thing on their minds-to set a new record at the fifth-annual sanctioned pork roll-eating championship,” said Sam Barclay, emcee at Major League Eating. “This competition will require serious jaw strength and hand coordination-between the two, it’s anyone’s game.”
The Eating Championship will take place at approximately 3:00 p.m. featuring 12 eaters. This Major League Eating sanctioned event will be a 10-minute battle of humans vs Case’s Pork Roll sandwiches vs themselves vs each other.
