Man Eats 47 Cheese Sandwiches In 10 min.
(AP) LAS VEGAS There's a rising star on the competitive eating circuit. California man Joey Chestnut downed 47 grilled cheese sandwiches in ten minutes this weekend in Las Vegas to set a world record. That's eleven more sandwiches than the old record of 36.
Last month, Chestnut ate 50 hot dogs. Some say he's a threat to the reigning champ of food stuffing, Japan's Takeru Kobayashi.
Chestnut won the grilled cheese contest sponsored by the International Federation of Competitive Eating, the same group that runs the annual Fourth of July hot dog eating contest at New York's Coney Island.

I follow the "sport" of competitive eating (soon to make my "pro" debut) and I can tell you, that's a truly awesome feat!
Of course, I'm not one to take it TOO seriously (though it is hard to keep your tongue in your cheek when you're training for a shoo fly pie eating contest).
Awesome! I have never seen one of these competitions live, but I'm sure it's a sight to behold. I'll look for your name in the news...
