It was a lot of fun and we look forward to doing it again next year.” When asked about the drive Menchetti stated, “It was well worth the trip, I’m thrilled to be the First Andy’s Big A Champion.” Although he is not a professional, Menchetti does consider himself an avid weekend participant in eating contests of all kind.
