Sportscaster announcers Dan Small and Mike Landsman (of WCDB) do introductions for each of the contestants and then a running play-by-play commentary of the 5-minute Latke Eating Contest.
Dan and Mike meet with Michael Isaacson who turned out to be the winner!	Josh Sisskind and Laura Novello preparing 10 Latkes per plate, which monitors brought to the contestants.
Michael Isaacson ate 50 Kineret triangle Latkes in 5 minutes, pictured here with his monitor Jay Dahan. Both are sophomores.	Steve Linder didn't come in first, but he kept eating Latkes long after the 5-minute competition was over. Same with Adam Kris.
Whew! At the closing end of the 5 minute span... 50 Latkes, crazy indeed!
