"The event, which was sponsored by Curve Foundation, a platform amplifying LGBTQ women's and non-binary voices and culture, featured contestants gorging themselves on a variety of pies, sans hands. The official winner of the contest was Jenn, who appeared quite triumphant in the photo featured in BAR. Per the culture blog Them, a second contestant also went home victorious that evening, as 81-year-old Babs Daitch's earnest pie-eating skills earned her best technique, plus a hearty round of applause from the crowd."
"Daitch quips in the caption, I took my time savoring every morsel of crust hidden beneath those sweet hills and valleys. As Them reports, Babs has lived quite an adventurous life, which is reflected in the short 14-minute documentary film, this year's winner of Honorable Mention for Outstanding Documentary Short at Frameline49 Film Festival and Audience Honorable Mention for Best Short Film at the OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival."
Riki's, a women's sports bar in San Francisco's Castro District, hosted a pie-eating contest the Sunday before Thanksgiving sponsored by Curve Foundation. Contestants ate a variety of pies without using hands. Jenn won the official grand prize, while 81-year-old Babs Daitch earned a crowd-favored best technique award for her earnest, animated performance. Daitch starred in a 14-minute documentary that received an Honorable Mention for Outstanding Documentary Short at Frameline49 and an Audience Honorable Mention for Best Short Film at OUTshine. Daitch expressed enjoyment of the pies and plans further projects including ads and a documentary sequel.
