In addition to The Birmingham Salvation Army National Pro/Am Pecan Pie Eating Championship P women's coats resented by Milo's Famous Tea, there will be a children's pie eating contest held prior to the main Eating Championship where the lucky winner will win an amazing prize and be given the fantastic title of Champion. The day's activities include food, games, a celebration of Mothers during Mother's Day Weekend and a special recognition of the 50th Anniversary of The Birmingham Salvation Army's Women's Auxiliary. All of the funds raised and proceeds from the day directly benefit The Salvation Army.
Todd "The Hungry Genius" Greenwald, Chairman of All Pro Eating, commented, "All Pro Eating is grateful to be involved with The Birmingham Salvation Army National Pro/Am Pecan Pie Eating Championship Presented by Milo's Famous Tea. The Birmingham Salvation Army has met the needs of their community in some amazing ways and we're hopeful that this event provides an entertaining way to raise additional much needed funds." Greenwald continued, "It is fitting that the National Pecan Pie Eating Champion will be crowned in Birmingham, and although Eric Dahl will certainly be tough to beat, I am guessing there will be plenty of local competitors who would like to keep the title home in Alabama instead of watching it travel with Eric to Minnesota!"
Eric "Silo" Dahl has taken this event as a personal challenge to keep his current Pie Eating Championship streak intact. Dahl recently won the World Hands-Free Pumpkin Pie Eating Championship where he established a new World Hands-Free Pumpkin Pie Eating Record after eating 27 pieces of Pumpkin Pie in 8 minutes without using his hands. He also recently won the National Pulled Pork Eating Championship and completed two 3 Pound burritos in 3 minutes and 25 seconds. The Birmingham Salvation Army National Pro/Am Pecan Pie Eating Championship will award a total of $800.00 in prize money and local competitors and participants are encouraged to get involved.
