Chris Cubas - Raw Onion Eating Champion
When we titled the eating competition “Come See Grown Men Cry” we never imagined the feat of consuming the most raw onion possible would attract as a competitor an 8 year old girl. But it did.
Turns out she wasn’t man enough for Onion Eating Champion Chris Cubas, who consumed one entire pound of raw onion in 5 minutes to win $200 from Bikinis Bar and Grill, a gift package from Nos Energy Drink, a t-shirt from SugarBaby Swimwear, and 10-15 feet from friends, family, and acquaintances for the next day or two.
Finishing second place was Whitney, whom you may recognize as Miss January in Bikinis’ 2009 Calendar. Whitney consumed nearly 3/4 of a pound of raw onion and, despite the effort, will be unable to keep guys 10 feet from her no matter what she does.

8 year old Madison consumed 1/8 a pound of raw onion in a monumental effort sure to inspire the imaginations of other wee eaters worldwide. The red face and tears of a little girl made sure there also wasn’t a dry eye in the house. But the smile on Madison’s face to an adoring audience after the competition was reassuring. Although the scars may be real and impossible to erase, a lifetime of competitive eating achievements await anyway.
Comedian Ruby Collins hosted “Come See Grown Men Cry” and the contest was refereed by Former Tamale Eating World Record Holder Levi Oliver.
“Come See Grown Men Cry” was a pre-Festival event held with the support of SugarBaby Swimwear and Bikinis Bar and Grill. The Texas Testosterone Festival will begin in earnest Saturday August 15 at 10:00 AM. Things will kick-off with the singing of the National Anthem by a lovely young woman in a SugarBaby Swimwear bikini. But it will be red, white, and blue, to keep it tasteful, of course.
Advance tickets are only $6 and available for purchase online by clicking here. Tickets at the door are $9, $10 if we run out of dollar bills.
