LAKE GROVE, N.Y. — That’s a lot of latkes. A 23-year- old mechanical engineering student downed 46 of the potato pancakes in eight minutes to win a contest at a Long Island deli. Pete Czerwinski said he had never eaten a latke before consuming about 7 pounds of them Sunday at Zan’s in Lake Grove. The Toronto bodybuilder says he is “a power eater” whose brain never signals that he’s full. Association of Independent Competitive Eaters chairman Arnie Chapman says Czerwinski demolished the previous record of 31 latkes, set in 2006.
