In honour of International Waffle Day, here is today's yummy fun fact!  

Did you know that...

“The record for most waffles eaten in 10 minutes is 29 waffles. Patrick Bertoletti is the current international champion for waffle eating, as well as a previous champion for the infamous Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest and the Wing Bowl. He ate 29 waffles in 10 minutes (which I would like to think I could also do), beating out former champion Joey Chestnut in 2007. Chestnut had set the record for 23 waffles in 10 minutes the year before.

Where did this happen, you ask? Why at the International Waffle Eating Contest because that’s a thing.” (Newell, 2016)
