The smell of tasty Buffalo Wild Wings and cigarette smoke filled the air among the eager teams who were anticipating the challenge, expecting to go home with full stomachs.

The contest was divvied up into two heats of four teams.

Teams included Team Upchuck, Team Wannahawkaloogie, Team The Rookies, Team Man, Team Dirty Checks, Team Alpha, Team Choo-Chews and Team B.A.B.E.Z.

The contestants were required to eat a total of four dishes, two per teammate. The dishes included: chicken, saltine crackers, ice cream and powder donuts.

Rules applied as followed: contestants must eat one dish entirely and show judges their empty mouth, followed by securing a high five with the teammate to tag them in.

Contestants are not allowed to have liquids or gum and are disqualified if they cannot finish the dish or if they get sick.

In the first heat, Team Dirty Check's Sabreen Sharrief broke a sweat inhaling the hot wings. 

Team Alpha's Shell Brummell felt the intensity in his face from chewing the dry saltine crackers.

"Eating the crackers gave me a headache, the side of my face started to hurt," she said.

Katie Spauding used a good technique to eating the saltine crackers quickly.

"The crackers are brutal; you have to use strategy. Two at a time, and you can break them up... It would be too much at one time," said Spauding.

The Grub at B-Dubs Champions were Team Man, and the second place winners were Team Alpha. All contestants walked away with prizes.

Justin Werenette received gifts such as Ponderosa dinner, Celebration Cinema tickets, a $20 CMU bookstore gift card, and more.

RPL 430 students were pleased with the outcome of the event, which raised money for Isabella County Soup Kitchen.
