$28,000 Worth of Pizza Eating Contest for Warfighter Sports

Flancer’s restaurant, located at Gilbert, had raised a mouth watering $28,000 with a simple contest – pie eating contest!

In over a month’s period, pizza-eating has been held at this establishment, creating a record of eating 18 ½ slices within 15 minutes.

The winner of the said event was Jimmy Peng, a known eating pro who already won 3 contests. His new record was an addition to his champ record last year of 16 ¼ slices and his prize was a full $500.

The funds raised from the contest will be given to the Warfighter Sports or also known as Wounded Warrior Project, a rehabilitation center for soldiers that recovers them through sports..
