"A Community Institution For 46 Years"
By PETER NESS
Some time ago at La Pina was
tbe scene of the pizza eatin’ cham
pionship of Orange Coonty. Chuck
Gerke, owner of La Pizza in Carr
boro, decided that it was time to
find out how many pizzas a pizza
eater could eat, so he offered a
prize of $10 to the man who could
eat the most. What follows is a true
blow by blow narrative of the hi
jinks that .occurred during the
course of the evening.
I entered La Pizza at 7:15, camera
in hand, and glanced around the
room. At one table sat Lester Fish
er-looking hungry enough to eat
the silverware. (He and several oth
er contestants had fasted all day
in anticipation of the event of the
evening.) Fifteen minutes later the
first pizzas were on the tables, with
the starving contestants busily de
vouring them.
At 8:30 the champ-to-be walked
in, sat down and immediately or
dered two pizzas and another two
in reserve. This brave young man
was Benjamin Gallagher, a fresh
man football player. Spectators
looked on with awe as he polished
off his first two and started in on
the third. The other contestants
watched with dismay as their hour
and four pizza lead rapidly disap
peared.
In one corner Lester Fisher sat
staring at a slice—in another cor
ner Charlie Webb was chewing a
bite with no apparent pleasure.
Fisher, with the look of a full man
upon his face, finally gave up.
The 10:30 finish line finally ar
rived with Gallagher and Webb
deadlocked for first place at five
pies each. The manager decided that
a run-dff was needed, so another
pizza was placed before each con
testant. Webb just sat there staring
at his, looked at Gallagher eating
away, decided he had reached his
limit and threw in the napkin. ;
The final score was Ben Gallag
her, first place; Charlie Webb, sec
ond place; and Lester Fisher, third.
For eating his way to second place,
Webb got $5. And the special award
for the third place winner was—a
pizza dinner for two.
