Eating Champion Consumes Massive Meal in Record Time
Inaugural Andy’s Big “A” Champion Crowned

(Mount Olive, N.C.) --- Four minutes and 40 seconds, that’s all it took for Connecticut resident Joe “The Gentleman” Menchetti
to consume an Andy’s 50 ounce burger, fries and drink in the inaugural Andy’s Big “A” Challenge. Held recently in Mount Olive,
North Carolina, Andy’s invited 8 Finalist who had the best qualifying times for eating the massive meal to compete to see who
could consume the meal the fastest in an inaugural eating challenge.  

Known state wide for their famous Cheeseburgers, Andy’s created the eating challenge as a way for their clients to have a little fun.
Customers at any Andy’s location can take the challenge and if they can finish the meal in 30 minutes, it’s free. Word of the
competition spread and Andy’s had people travel from all over the Southeast to attempt to qualify for one of the 10 finalists spots.
Menchetti drove down from Connecticut prior to the finals to qualify and then back again for the big day. For his efforts, Menchetti
took home $1,000 for first place.

“We have people come in and take the challenge all the time,” stated Kenny Moore President of Andy’s Burgers, Shakes & Fries.
“We thought it would be fun to get the people together that have done it the fastest and really see how quickly someone could eat
the meal. 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 reigning Andy’s Big A Champion.”
Menchetti has participated in various contests across the country and gained the nick name “Gentleman” for always wearing his signature
tuxedo and top hat at competitions.
