Reason Why He’s A Contender:
When you sent your survey around a few months back I suggested that you add garlicky greens to the b.good sides. Since my first spinach wish wasn't granted I'm hoping you'll allow me to enter your contest so I can make up for lost time.

Reason Why He’s A Contender:
I have been practicing for this moment 6 days a week, once, maybe twice a day at b good for the past year. I've spent thousands and now I feel that I'm finally ready. I missed last years competition when I threw out my jaw in a vigorous chewing exercise that had me laid up for a few months at BMC. Now, I'm back & you're all in big, big trouble. If I'm not one of the five, I will literally dress up as a 'garlicky green' and protest the contest outside until the next one comes around....that, or I'll just keep eating there like a chump....while dressed as a 'garlicky green'.

Reason Why She’s A Contender:
Top FIVE Reasons why I would be a stellar contender for the 2nd annual Garlicky-Green Eating Championship: 5. I'm a big fan of green stuff. It's one of my favorite colors, I eat alot of green things, and my Nalgene water bottle is green. 4. I’ve watched many professional eating contests on ESPN (such as the famous 4th of July hot dog eating contest that small Japanese guy Kazutoyo Arai always dominates) 3. My momma always told me "Eat the green things and you'll live to be as old as the trees." (And my momma is an honest woman) 2. I play field hockey at Harvard (not unlike your own Judy Collins and recent college intern Siobhan Connolly) so naturally I am a FIERCE competitor – I know I could take on anyone…and even though some people may doubt my ability to eat massive amounts of food, they are all wrong…very very wrong… 1. All I want to do is eat Garlicky Greens and meet the famous Uncle Faris (Siobhan won’t stop raving about him) Please help make my dreams of eating absurd amounts of spinach for honor and glory a reality :0) --- And give me a great reason to tell everyone I know at Harvard to eat at the new b.good opening in Harvard Square!

Reason Why She’s A Contender:
i am a small asian girl. not exactly a shoe-in for the spinach eating contest. but i love spinach and i love b.good. the only way i would be more excited is if this was a b.good-drunk-elvis-eating-contest. so although i will feel the same way as i did at the start line during my high school track hurdler years (the 5 foot tall chinese kid is never the crowd favorite in such a sport), perhaps i may do better than expected. p.s. i work at bain, bain hearts b.good.

Reason Why He’s A Contender:
--that stands for Texan and Asian, you dirty perverts. How could I not win this contest when I've been genetically engineered to eat disgusting amounts of mysterious green veggies (thanks mom). ESPN2 has shown us all that the best eaters are either fat bastards from Texas or skinny exotic Asians -- well you're looking at the ultimate eating champion: A skinny exotic Asian, who was BORN and RAISED in Texas (and has been called a bastard by family, friends, and co workers). I've been practicing my gluttony with the legendary B good quadrapule burger (oh yea, it exists and it's amazing) and then there was that time last week when I ate 2 pork chops, 2 t-bones, 2 chicken thighs, 2 rib eye slices, and 6 pieces of sausages....why'd I eat all of this meat...because I could. That's the kind of twisted logic that's going to win me a year's worth of free food at B good.

Reason Why He’s A Contender:
I think that I am a contender for the following reasons.

1. When giving my opinions to you guys a couple of months back, I (lightly) railed on you for not having enough Vegetarian entrees. This is an opportunity for me to put my mouth where your money is.

2. I am normally a light eater but I can eat a small child's body weight in garlicky Greens. In other words, as the contest winner I would not break your bank by gorging on free food every day.

3. I would as the contender, bring a small army on the 20th to watch my back and buy your food. As the champion, I would drag everyone in the vicinity of my garlicky breath into b.good to force them to listen to the epic tale of, "How I became the Garlicky Green Champion and finally got to meet Uncle Faris". While spirits would not flow, I would expect that everyone would be purchasing Venetian Veggie Burgers to savor the smallest taste of the Garlicky Greens I devoured and chasing those down with real fries, spicy black beans and fruit shakes.

4. I am a contender because I will eat so many garlicky greens that no one will be able to get within a city block of me. This includes my wife, and I want you to know how much of a hit I am taking for the team on this one.

5. Because I know that real people are reading this e-mail and that hopefully they are shaking their head as they read this and wonder what went wrong with this person and possibly society in general.

Reason Why She’s A Contender:
I have been training and strategizing for this competition since birth by meditating in the mountains and bathing myself every Sunday night in spinach and garlic. I also take it as a sign that "Garliky-Green" has a Y in it and so does my name. I was born to do this and have the flashcards to prove it.

Reason Why He’s A Contender:
So I can eat for free at your resteraunt for 1 year for free. I've never been in a food eating contest so I really want to try it. Its also healthy so its not bad for you. Also I'm only 12 but i hope I'm not too young but I think I have an ok chance of winning because I have a big appettite. Thanks.
