SHEBOYGAN, Wis. - Sonya Thomas, at 99 pounds, gobbled her way to another speed-eating title over the weekend by attacking a Wisconsin staple - the bratwurst.

The woman known as The Black Widow on the competitive-eating circuit downed 35 brats in 10 minutes to win the first Johnsonville Brat-Eating World Championship. She edged out her nearest competitor by half a brat to win.

"I don't know where she puts it," spectator Sue Van De Kreeke said. "I got sick watching her."

The previous bratwurst-eating record was 19 1/2 brats in 10 minutes.

Thomas, a Burger King manager from Alexandria, Va., is ranked second by the International Federation of Competitive Eating, which sanctioned Saturday's contest during Brat Days. Her various eating records include ones for hard-boiled eggs (65 in 6 minutes 40 seconds) and chicken wings (167 in 32 minutes).

The day before the bratwurst-eating contest, she won a grilled-cheese-sandwich eating contest in San Diego, eating 22.

Yesterday she ate 22 grilled cheese sandwiches and now this?

She weighs 99 pounds?

Someday we're going to see a tell-all book by this girl about anorexo-bulimia.

Meanwhile, she sounds like a VERY expensive dinner date....

Wonder if she had to eat the buns, too? You know, it the carbs that cause you to gain weight.

She's eating, "For the Children." and the starving folks in Africa, mating like gypsie-flies, and spreading Aids that we fund to the tune of $14,000,000,000 a year to help these consumate mating people. What a world we live in today.... The mindset and thought process today is unrecognizable from what it was when I was a child in the 1950-196s (except for the Jane Fondas of the era).
