Tim Janus destroys grilled cheese record
At the Nebraska State Fair in Lincoln, Tim “Eater X” Janus wins with a record smashing performance of 31 sandwiches. This destroys Sonya Thomas’ record of 25 set earlier this year and is the best mark so far on the Grilled Cheese circuit by almost 10. Sonya has already changed her number of records on sonyatheblackwidow.com to 25 from 26, a very classy move. Sonya might regret advising Tim Janus at the US Open that he needed to improve his stomach capacity.
From omaha.com (registration required so I will just quote the relevant part)
STATE FAIR PARK – How do you eat 31 grilled-cheese sandwiches in 10 minutes?
Dip them in water and wash them down with soda, which dissolves the bread, according to Tim “Eater X” Janus, a New York City stock broker and the No. 7-ranked speed eater in the world.
Janus, 26, established what is apparently a world record for downing grilled cheese at the fair Saturday. He qualified for the national championship in October.
About 250 people witnessed the spectacle.
Eater X, who donned face paint to psych out a dozen local rivals, said another trick is to eat big meals to stretch out your stomach.
Mike Nafziger, a chef from Fremont, placed a distant second with 14 sandwiches. Jason Smith of Bellevue finished third with 131/2 sandwiches.

Tim,
That was an awesome total. You beat how many I ate in Springfield by eight, that’s great. (Rhyme intended)

Arnie, IFOCE members do not challenge the AICE because it is not woth the time. I know that Joe Menchetti wants to get back in the IFOCE, he told me. He also told me you are crazy. Why don’t you grow up and quit crying. Maybe if you stop trying to hurt the progress of competitive eating you will get to compete in real events.
Deliciously yours,
a life long eater
