Achin’ for bacon: Cambridge bar hosts annual bacon-eating contest

Cambridge – Football, hockey, baseball: noble sports all, but only one contest truly tests the very fabric of the human spirit.

That, of course, is the annual bacon-eating contest at Atwood’s Tavern in Inman Square.

Ten contestants, against their better judgment, took to the stage at Atwood’s Saturday morning to see who among them could pile down the most bacon in five minutes.

Watch the video below to see who won this gastronomic gauntlet.

An interesting quote I found at the Dallas Morning News Religion Blog

“For too many westerners, the face of Islam is a suicide terrorist. For too many people living in the Middle East, the face of Judaism is a West Bank settler or an Israeli soldier. And for too many people across the globe, the face of Christianity since the beginning of the Iraq War has been George W. Bush.”
