Joel Hansen probably wants nothing to do with poutine, at least for a few weeks.
The Waterloo man won the Amateur Eat-Off at Smoke’s Poutinerie World Poutine Eating Championship in Toronto over the weekend.
Hansen wolfed down 8.5 pounds of poutine in five minutes.
Meantime, Joey Chestnut of San Jose, California re-claimed the world title.
Chestnut consumed 17 and a half pounds of poutine.
Over $105,000 was also raised for Friends of We Care.
The group helps send children with special needs to camp.
