Ginna Mosely, left, and Kelsey Odom, both of D.C. shove tater tots in their mouths during last night’s Rock the Tot contest at Bar Louie.

There was a hungry horde at Bar Louie in Chinatown yesterday for the bar’s 2nd Annual “Rock the Tot” tater tot eating competition. The competitors, some in costume and most rocking tot-themed aliases (Fire Tot, Tiny Tot, Spudley Do-Right and Ace of Tots, just to name a few), ate as many tots as they could stand in a six-minute period, which, it turned out, is a lot more than we imagined possible. Despite bringing along their own sign-toting cheering squads for moral support, many of them looked worse for wear by the end—especially Ace of Tots, who lost his tots just minutes after his heat ended, disqualifying himself. Most of the contestants consumed between one and two pounds of tots, but the winner, James Besser, scoffed at most of them, consuming 2.8 pounds of tots for a new Bar Louie D.C. record. To you, sir, we say … congratulations?
