Maine's Eating Challenges
Not sure when we actually transgressed from pie eating contests to these, but they do keep us entertained...
There were 48 challenges across the State this past year, only 8 of them are ongoing, a few restaurants have closed that had offered challenges earlier this year, I would call before I go, just to make sure these challenges have not changed, but as of today 10-22-15 - they are valid. Good Luck to All that Try!
Before driving there, you might want to call and verify that the challenge is still on!
