A couple of Saturdays ago we went down to Yonge and Dundas square in the centre of downtown Toronto, just so we could watch a bunch of unbelievable hungry professional eaters stuff their faces with salty, cheesy, starchy poutine. The amount of convulsing, gravy soaked hands, uncomfortable groaning noises, and flying cheese curds was beautiful and super fucking gross at the same time. We were disgusted on every level of our being, and yet, still could not look away from the face-stuffing and competetive consumption.Professional eaters are one of the most glorious spectacles the western world has ever belched out of its over-fed and over-privileged stomach. The very idea of competing to stuff the most free food in your belly is the kind of thing that can easily be summed up as a very bold "fuck you" directed at the hungry. But, if you can try not to think about that whatsoever, we ask that you please behold our footage of the World Poutine Eating Championship and enjoy.
