My first time to cover the Yoshinoya Gyudon Eating contest made me realize that when it comes to eating, especially with rice, Filipinos are big eaters no matter how they look and sometimes looks can be deceiving.

For the past several weeks each branches held their selection of customers who dared to consume the most number of gyudon in 5 minutes. And with that a number of participants were listed down to participate in the final match which was held in Glorietta Activity Center in Makati City.
Yoshinoya Gyudon Eating Contest marks its 4th year as more hungry Filipinos tried to test their mettle to gastronomic challenge. If the Coney Island in New York, USA has the world-famous Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Content, then the Philippines definitely has Yoshinoya which hails the participants with the most number of gyudon bowls consumed.

The final match at the Glorietta Activity Center only proves who eats more than anyone else. As safety precautions and procedures all finalists undergone medical check up to ensure their health conditions are okay. All finalists will compete by eating the most number of bowls in 15 minutes. The Top Three (3) Finalists with the most number of bowls consumed and the least weight of food left after 15 minutes will be declared winners of the Yoshinoya Gyudon Eating Contest 2014.
For the media category, the bloggers’ representative, Ruel Umali, who’s all hyped up to win this year’s crown unfortunately lost a little less than half of a bowl. But then again it was a good food fight.
After the 15 minute time mark and after checking their consumed gyudons three winner stands out and are declared winner.
