Second place went to Joey "Jaws" Chestnut, 23, of San Jose, Calif., who won $2,000 for eating 28 1/2 waffles. Third place went to Timothy "Eater X" Janus, of New York, who consumed 21 1/4 waffles.

29 waffles in 10 minutes? It would make me feel awful to eat that many waffles. It should be unlawful! (Hey, not bad! Maybe I could be the next Dr. Seuss!!!)
