Vermont Man Devours 19 Lobsters in 35 Minutes
KITTERY, Maine - A Vermont man took home the top prize in a lobster-eating contest by devouring 19 of the crustaceans in 35 minutes.



Barry "Tink" Giddings of Chester, Vt., won the Weathervane Seafood Restaurant's third annual lobster-eating competition.


As the newly crowned Lobster Maniac of the year, Giddings, 50, won a trip aboard a working lobster boat out of Kittery and up to 100 pounds of the day's catch.


He said the only previous speed-eating experience he had was when he won a watermelon-eating contest when he was 8.


"When it comes to eating lobsters, I knew I was a winner," Giddings said Saturday as he loosened his belt after the contest.
