David beat off six challengers to gobble down three pies the fastest to claim the pie trophy and $100.
He did it in around five minutes which is impressive in the Isa summer heat.
“It was pretty good – it filled me up,” David said.
While David has had practice eating pies at home, he hadn’t taken on anything of this scale before.
“My wife made me do it!” he said.
“It’s just a bit of fun.”
