Would You Participate in a Kale-Eating Contest? Because Now You Can.
Every year, you hear about the hot dog eating contest, but what if that's just too much meat for a hot summer's day? Well, worry no longer. Competitors sanctioned by Major League Eating are famous for downing hot dogs by the dozen but will compete for the Kale Cup at this year's Taste of Buffalo food festival on Saturday in Buffalo, New York. They'll have eight minutes to consume as much of the leafy green vegetable as possible.
The winner will take home $2,000.
The Kale Yeah! contest is meant to highlight the healthier fare served alongside the chicken wings and ice cream at Buffalo's annual food festival. The Independent Health Foundation's Healthy Options program requires each vendor to offer a health-conscious menu item.
