March 31: Stuff yourself with dumplings for a good cause

POSTED: Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 12:15 PM

On March 31, the Philly chapter of the National Association of Asian American Professionals is hosting its first-ever dumpling-eating contest to benefit the Prodigy Program, a mentoring initiative that matches members of NAAAP with local students in coalition with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Going down at Chinatown's Sang Kee (238 N. Ninth St.), the event will crown first-, second- and third-place eaters and will be followed by a dumpling tasting for non-stuffed attendees. We're telling you about it early because the deadline to RSVP (for the contest or just to watch) is this Friday. It'll cost you $30 to compete for dumpling-inhaling supremacy and $15 to spectate ($10 if you're a NAAAP member). Email mang.chang@naaapphilly.org by March 23 to sign up. Wonder how many dumplings the victor will end up consuming ...
