Early life and career

Peter Czerwinski was born November 30, 1985,[1] in Toronto.[1][2] Both his parents had health issues.[4] As a teenager, he battled against anorexia[2] and was hospitalized at the Toronto Sick Kids Hospital;[5] according to himself, he recovered by bodybuilding.[2] Czerwinski has a slower digestion rate than the average person's.[2] His daily diet comprises nine balanced meals and he exercises daily.[2] Czerwinski realized his talent in eating when he managed to beat an eating record. Thereafter, he decided to take up more eating-related challenges and post them on YouTube.[4] Having participated in more than 90 eating competitions,[2] Czerwinski holds six Guinness World Records in competitive eating, including that for eating a whole raw onion in 43.53 seconds,[6] devouring seventeen bananas in 2 minutes,[7] finishing fifteen hamburgers in 10 minutes,[2] guzzling a 750-millilitre bottle of olive oil in 60 seconds,[2] and consuming 17 Jaffa Cakes in sixty seconds.[8] He also participated in season one of Canada's Got Talent. For his performance, he consumed 5 hard boiled eggs, 3 pieces of Canadian bacon, 2 bananas, and a bag of milk in 51 seconds;[9][10] however, he did not make it past the Toronto Auditions.[9] A direct-to-DVD documentary film, titled The Story of Furious Pete, chronicling Czerwinski's life has been produced by GI Productions.[11] It screened at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.[12] The Furious "Pete"[13] – which consists of 20 pieces of bacon and 20 pieces of cheese, alongside a five-pound platter of fries – is named after him, after Czerwinski became the first person in 1,500 attempts to finish it.[4]

Because of his Polish descent he has a tattoo of the Polish White Eagle on his back.[14]

On October 1, 2014, Pete announced on his YouTube channel that he had recently undergone surgery for Testicular cancer.

On October 13, 2014 Pete announced that he proposed to his girlfriend Melissa, to whom he is currently engaged.[15]

On November 29, 2014 Pete announced that he became cancer free after undergoing tests.[16]
