FOOD EATING CHAMP HAS MATZOS ON HIS MIND

FOOD EATING CHAMP HAS MATZOS ON HIS MIND

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- The qualifying rounds for New York's 4th Annual Matzo Ball Eating Contest will start tomorrow (Jan. 9) and last year's champion is chomping at the bit. 52-year-old Donald Lerman has been preparing for the contest all year and hopes to gobble down 16 matzo balls in less than six minutes -- four more than last year. Lerman says he's been stretching his stomach by guzzling gallons of water and practice matzo balls to enlarge his gut. It might leave others water logged, but he predicts the contest won't be won by a hungry man, but by a man who is full, but who can still eat.
