Can You Devour the Clam Cake Competition?

SPONSORED POST

Posted

As a New Englander, we know you love clam cakes (or, at least we assume). But how much do you really love clam cakes? Can you devour 'em by the dozen? Ok, how about two dozen? In 10 minutes?

If your appetite for the iconic Rhode Island summer food is insatiable, then you need to be at Blount Clam Shack in Warren this weekend. On Saturday, they're hosting their third annual Clam Cake Eating Contest from 2-4pm. (It's free to enter, but you must be there by 1:30 to register.) Both of the previous winners will be there to defend their titles: Nick Williams from year one and Joe Menchetti from year two. Last year, Joe ate 24 clam cakes in just 10 minutes. Think you've got the stomach to take this year's title? The hungriest competitor will take home $150 gift card to Amazon, some Blount schwag, their name on the t-shirt for next year's contest and, most importantly, bragging rights.

For those who are a bit less ravenous, there will still be plenty of fun. In addition to cheering on your favorite competitor, you can play trivia games to win prizes, Blount will be passing around free clam cakes, DJ Wright will MC the competition and Neal White from Fun 107 will be broadcasting live. (He's also agreed to dive into the competition.) So, only one question remains: Are you hungry yet?
