It's back. And once again it's gonna get messy. After Joel "The Cannon" Podelsky took the second-ever Town Hall Deli Sloppy Joe Eating Contest crown last year, the gauntlet has been thrown (or eaten). Six contestants will eat as many delicious Joes as they can in three minutes and eleven seconds (also known as the length of the song "Cotton Eye Joe").

If you think you've got what it takes to unseat the reigning champ, stop in to Town Hall Deli at 60 Valley Street before June 3 or fill out the form below. The champion gets a $100 Town Hall Deli gift certificate and his or her name emblazoned on the Golden Joe Trophy for eternity.

The spectacle takes place at 5:30pm on the MainStage on the Sloan Street.
