An associate producer for the TLC program Cake Boss sent the following email:

Next Wednesday, September 2nd, Timothy Janus (Eater X, ranked #4 in the world) and Crazy Legs Conti (ranked #14) will be meeting up at a downtown restaurant in Hoboken, New Jersey for some cake-eating craziness.

Currently, we have limited openings for seating at the event but I’d love to get people passionate about competitive eating in the audience! We need NY/NJ-based individuals interested in attending to RSVP to hobokenproject@gmail.com with their full name, age, contact info (including phone number for confirmation) as soon as possible. Guests will need to arrive at the site at 3pm on Wednesday, and with confirmation of their email we’ll send them an address to the location.
