No Tears as Onion Eating Champ Devours 310 Scallions in a Row

Description

The Spanish city of Valls celebrated the traditional Calcotada festival with an eating competition on Sunday. People from Catalonia and across Spain came out to chomp down on calcots, which are a milder version of green onions and scallions. Grilled calcots are served up in on a roof tile and participants eat as many as possible in 45 minutes. This year's winner Adria Wegrzyn from Barcelona, ate a record-breaking 310 calcots, while his 76 year-old father took second place with 186.
