The restaurant, which opened last July, has made a name for itself by staying open late — until 4 a.m. on weekends — to cater to the village's late-night bar patrons. Co-owner T.J. Thompson said that on weekends, the line for cheese steaks can stretch out the door.
"Me and my partner, Shaun [Sullivan], are just a couple of local kids who've been going out over here for years," said Thompson. "We both grew up in Oceanside. We know every single bar owner in the area just from going out over here. We put our heads together and realized there's nothing open late."
The upcoming event is even newer than the restaurant. "This is the first time we're doing a National Cheese Steak Eating Championship," Chapman said, "so the person who wins it, in my estimation, will not only be the national cheese steak-eating champion, but will also be the world record holder for this event."
The competition will pit amateur eaters trying to make a name for themselves against some professionals, including the New York City taco-eating champion, Paul "Pork Slap" Arcaria, and two-time Long Island pizza-eating champion Mike "The Real Skinny" Hoffman.
