Tim Janus Notches Win In Knoxville To Earn Birth In Krystal Square Off V Finals

Flanked by the "Fairest of the Fair" girls, Tim "Eater X" Janus was the fiercest of the fair today at the Krystal Square Off V Qualifier in Knoxville.

Competitive eating’s man of mystery Tim Janus was the king of the Krystal today in Knoxville, Tenn. The 31-year-old from New York, N.Y. known as “Eater X” devoured 63 of the fast food icon’s famous hamburgers in eight minutes to win the Knoxville Krystal Square Off V Qualifier. Janus’ mark shattered the previous Knoxville Qualifier record of 49 hamburgers set last year by Chip Simpson.

Janus’ victory earns him a spot at the FSN South-televised final table of the Krystal Square Off V World Hamburger Eating Championship on Sept. 28, held in Krystal’s hometown of Chattanooga. There, Janus will go up against reigning World Champion and record holder Joey Chestnut, three-time champion Takeru Kobayashi and all of the top finishers from the regional qualifiers held in cities across the South.

Never challenged the entire contest, Janus finished a baker’s dozen ahead of his closest competitor, Crazy Legs Conti, whose 50 Krystals one short of placing him in wild card contention.

Crazy Legs Conti To Appear On Knoxville TV Ahead Of Qualifier

Competitive eater Crazy Legs Conti is a fan favorite wherever he goes.

No one would ever accuse competitive eater Crazy Legs Conti as being publicity shy. The popular gurgitator is known for his attention grabbing stunts including his recent Michael Phelps-ian eat feat for College Humor.

Well, this Sunday morning, Conti will be in Knoxville, Tenn. for the regional qualifier, but before he takes the stage he’ll make an appearance on WBIR-TV in Knoxville to talk about Krystal Square Off V and officiate an on-air contest between WBIR staffers. What else he’ll do, only he knows, but you can bet he’ll be entertaining as always.

We’ll keep you posted via our Twitter feed on the exact time time Crazy Legs will appear, and hopefully we can get video of his appearance.
