First she bit on Public Relations Director Mark Soifer’s unapologetic attempt to get a little media attention for Ocean City in November: the annual Quiet Festival.
Lisa Ryan and Skyler face off for the chomp-off title amid shreds of lettuce and cheers from the crowd who by now are really into the contest. The epic man vs. beast contest was part of Ocean City's annual Quiet Festival.
Then she bit on a big head of lettuce in a failed attempt to out-eat a Guinea Pig named Skyler.
Lisa Rose, a Star-Ledger reporter whom Soifer describes as “a feisty vegan from North Jersey,” produced the above video about Ocean City's Quiet Festival and her epic showdown with Skyler.

“It came to pass that Skyler, a plumpish local Guinea Pig with lightning teeth, copped the championship. Tyler and Lisa faced off for the chomp-off before a crowd of incredulous onlookers Saturday at the Ocean City Senior Center, site of Quiet Festival activities,” Soifer reported.
Tyler beat Rose by 10 seconds in the chomp-off. Rose reportedly smiled, shrugged and said, “Maybe next year,” as Tyler dozed in his comforter.
