Readying for Beard Papa battle.
The rabid crowd of cream puff munch-off fanatics.
Bearded rocker Andrew Chapman of The Keeper.
Bearded (and 100% organic!) rocker Matt Badger of Ravenna Woods.
Lea Michelle-lipped singer-songwriter Gabriel Mintz.
Chapman had a strong start, cleanliness being the least of his worries.
Badger was barely intimidated by the mountain of puffs before him.
Mintz displayed a superb, and unique, technique.
At the two-minute mark Chapman got his second wind.
Never giving in to the Beard Papa.
Mintz started to slow at the halfway mark.
Chapman seems to be doubting that last bite.
But doubt not - Andrew Chapman was crowned champion, having downed nine Beard Papa's in five minutes. Not having asked beforehand what the grand prize was, we are sure he was overjoyed to be presented with a gift certificate for $50 worth of Beard Papa's cream puffs.
The end.

Seattle Weekly food blog Voracious held the Beard Papa’s Cream Puff Munch-Off last night at the Little Red Hen in Greenlake. Bearded, and appropriately-lipped, rockers Gabriel Mintz, Andrew Chapman and Matt Badger squared off in a contest to see who could hork down the most Beard Papa cream puffs in 5 minutes.Here’s the action shots – if you weren’t there you really missed out on something special.Photos by Zibby Wilder.Published on September 24, 2010
