So this year, for the last several weeks of getting qualifiers from different branches of Yoshinoya, they finally completed the list of individuals eager and hungry to take on the challenge and finish a number of gyudon. As Yoshinoya’s Gyudon Eating Contest marks its 4th year, many hungry Filipinos are in to test their mettle to gastronomic challenges. If Coney Island in New York, USA has the world-famous Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, then the Philippines definitely has Yoshinoya. And just like in the previous editions, the Yoshinoya Gyudon Eating Contest promises to be nothing short of excitement.

Kwento Ni Toto once again shares stories about Yoshinoya with our correspondent Justine.  Yoshinoya has cooked up and ready to served their annual eating contest but before that media people takes on the challenge first.  For the bloggers representative for the Media Category a challenge was held last March 5 at the Robinsons Galleria Branch of Yoshinoya.   19 brave tummies take on the challenge to eye for this year's representative for the Yoshinoya Gyudon Eating Contest 2014 Media Category.

Last year was a great year for bloggers as one of them whom I know, Florencio Jusay or FPJ of manualtolyf.blogspot.com take home the title, some cash and of course the bragging right of being 2013's Yoshinoya Gyudon Eating Contest winner for the media category.

Last February 23, I was able to cover the Grand Finals of the Yoshinoya Beef Gyudon Eating Contest.   A yearly activity of Yoshinoya Philippines headed by President and General Manager Timothy James Yang.  The event was held at the New Activity Center of Glorietta 1 in Makati City with twenty eight (28) finalists who competed during the qualifying rounds from different stores of Yoshinoya in past month.


Aside from the 28 contestants present in the Grand Finals there were also contestant from different medias, like the print, television, radio and online.  One of our famed blogger friend Florencio Jusay, Jr. was one of the contender.
