The International Federation of Competitive Eating's turkey-eating championship pitted eight professional eaters against one another in a race to see who could eat the most of a 12-pound turkey in 12 minutes. Twenty-one-year-old Patrick Bertoletti won, devouring 4.8 pounds of turkey in the allotted time. The competition was held at Artie's Deli in New York City.
