The family of a California man who died in a taco-eating contest is taking legal action against the event’s organizers — claiming their negligence led him to choke to death.
Marshall Hutchings, 18, alleges in a suit filed Monday that his father, Dana Hutchings, 41, was not made aware of the risks and danger associated with the competition at a Fresno Grizzlies game, the Fresno Bee reported
The elder Hutchings had not participated in any similar events before he entered the amateur competition on Aug. 13, 2019, at Chukchansi Park, the suit argues.

Good idea, scarf down as many tacos as fast as possible as they explode into jagged sharp shrapnel when chewed.
Perfectly fried, hot and salty, thin French fries would be my undoing. But I get filled up pretty quick and need a nap.
This is some ambulance chaser who found an 18 year old kid who lost his father in a stupid endeavor and sees a chance to make a buck. This is “double-stupid”: 1) stupid that the sponsor didn’t get a liability waiver, and 2) stupid that the man even entered the contest.+
when the bell tolls...
Interesting.
My Italian friend would take a big whole sardine, like 5 inches long (or bigger), put olive oil, salt and pepper on it, hold it above his head and chow it down. I couldn’t do it..the raw head and tail were not edible to me! (let alone everything else) Maybe you should amend your statement saying you would win a canned sardine eating contest. Those things wouldn’t fit in a can. Still don’t know he did it, but them EYE-talians don’t play at chow time!!
It’s a CAPTCHA that you enter on his face to show you are not a robot
And ignorant suits like this are why this country is screwed up.
I was thinking maybe hard-shelled tacos. You try to wolf those down without chewing, and you could definitely choke.
My wife keeps trying to get me to try “new flavors” like in tomato paste or water or different oil. Just gimme the Moroccan in Olive Oil thank you very much. I’ll eat the skin and bones too but usually get the skinless and boneless. Trader Joe has some at a reasonable price, big in size but a little too dry compared to the Crown Prince.
Are those leeches, or does she just need a shower?
I am a foody snob, and admit it. I love to cook. I read cook books for fun. I go to the best places I snoop out on Yelp. I spend too much on ingredients. That said, one of the best things I ever found, food related, was 20 years ago, when I was just starting to cook. I think it was in a Bon Appetite
mag and it looked just wierd enough to try. Good Jewish Rye, toasted, fancy sardines, Russian dressing, red onion, slivers of cabbage and some capers. I will never forget how good that was, and I am picky! I made that for a while and now can’t look at a sardine in the eye. Those spines gross me out now.
Yes. Leeches.
Good point. The Dumbo son and the ambulance chaser might win...see the elderly woman that spilled the hot, hot, hot McCafe on her giblets. Settlement. $60,000 to the idjit son, $40,000 to scum bag lawyer.
Canned sardines for sure. They cook them right in their bones but at that temperature, the spines are very edible.
Yep. Happened in 2019, kid’s now suing.
How sad. Florida man would never do some stunt like this.
Chief something?
Mainey I think, but probably wrong.
“...Choking on hot dogs is a serious risk.”
Kamala issued a public service announcement saying this should only be done by pro’s.
