Minutes

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Ed "Cookie" Jarvis of Long Island, N.Y.,
clearly won the grilled cheese-eating championship at the Arkansas
State Fair on Saturday, stuffing down 19 sandwiches in the
10-minute contest.
Patrick Philbin of Moonachie, N.J., came in second, scarfing down a
sandwich-and-a-half less than champion Jarvis. But third place was
too close to call. Two contestants consumed 10 grilled cheeses in
the 10 minutes allowed, and the judges had to call for a one-minute
runoff. With 11 1/2 sandwiches in his belly, Michael Finnell of
Sherwood, Ark., was declared the third-place winner.
All six contestants finished without getting sick, said Michael
Castellano of the International Federation of Competitive
Eating.
Little Rock was the 11th city on the 15-city circuit of the
GoldenPalace.com World Grilled Cheese-Eating Championship.
GoldenPalace.com, an online casino, and the federation are
sponsoring the event.
For his big appetite and swallowing skills, Jarvis won $1,000. He
will join other first-place winners in competing for the world
championship title at a time and place to be determined
later.
