Manny “The Manimal” Cambra basks in the thrill of victory.
ANSONIA — Manny “The Manimal” Cambra, the gluttonous grinder from parts unknown (though it might be Bethel), once again won the City of Ansonia’s annual paczki-eating contest.
The Manimal downed 11 of the overstuffed donuts, then did a tumblesault into a boxing ring inside the Ansonia Armory to accept his paczki crown from Ansonia Mayor David Cassetti. Cambra previously won the eating competition in 2015, 2016, and 2021.
Also, he’s a super nice guy. Seek him out in the videos below.
