PHOTOS: NBC Tower Corned Beef Eating Contest

Moshpix: It wouldn't be St. Patrick's Day without the annual corned beef eating contest at NBC Tower. Employees had three minutes to eat as much of a giant sandwich as possible. In the end, Rob Spejskal took down defending champion Marcus Riley. All the carnage was for a good cause. Windy City Provisions/Boar's Head Meat donated 200 pounds of corned beef and proceeds from the event to Franciscan Outreach for St. Patricks Day dinner.
