Joey Chestnut beats Takeru Kobayashi for third consecutive time.

I love this contest, haven't missed it on TV for the last 5 years. Joey is simply the man, I can't believe quickly he's matured to the level he's at.

Just wait, it's going to be insane when he gets 70+ HDBs next year!

 

[ProfJohn]

Someone should ask the chick on the camel how many she can eat.

 

[JEDI]

how much cash do they win at these eating contests?

 

[Synomenon]

Chestnut won $20000 for this year's win.

I really like Chesnut's personality. He seems pretty humble, doesn't really big up what he's doing. He realizes that without professional eating, he'd be working at Wing Stop for the free chicken, but that he's blessed to live in a time and age where one can making a good living off just eating. That and he holds it down for the Bay!

My only wonder is if he can handle the Cluck U's 911 Challenge: 12 wings in 10 minutes of the crazy mad spiciest buffalo wings on earth -- all without being able to use a napkin or having a drink of anything.

I had those wings (without doing the official challenge) and even though I finished them, I literally felt like I was going to die afterward. The pain in my mouth I could handle, but that crazy bubbling I had in my stomach was just too much. No matter how much I drank, there was nothing I could do to relieve it. It felt like someone was ripping my guts out from the inside and there was nothing I could do to prevent it. My only answer was to go fetal for several hours (almost falling out of my friend's car) until I finally regained my senses. I think I may have lost 5 years off my life just by having those wings.

 

[Synomenon]

Are those the same chicken wings Adam Richman had in Man Vs. Food? They mentioned that some people would be curled up in the fetal position outside on the sidewalk after having some of that chicken.

Kobayashi needs to commit seppuku. He has dishonored himself and his family...again.

Well we already have Professional Carry a Ball Past a Line, Professional Hit a Ball With a Stick, and Professional Kick a Ball Into a Goal.

Just be glad there aren't any Extreme Professional Toilet Sports.

Yet.


Next thing you know, Congress would be holding hearings about competitors doping up on laxatives; Pepto Bismol would be made an illegal substance.

 

[chin311]

This was very disturbing to watch. You could see how big his stomach got afterwards. Yikes.

Except those require actual... athletic skill.

my friend tried it. He got through 6 wings, and then died.

Try to eat 68 hot dogs and tell me that no athletic skill is involved in it.

I think it was a Pizza Hut Pizzone eating contest or something. Back in May I remember. Kobayashi won in that.

Affirmative, but we still love calling it Cluck U. I have friends who tried and well it wasn't funny at all, but I've talked to two people who've actually finished. I doubt I could even get close.

 

[DayLaPaul]

Cluck U, Candlestick, Pacbell. It doesn't matter what name is pasted on the outside of the building, once a name sticks, it sticks.

The 31-year-old devoured 93 Krystal hamburgers in eight minutes setting a world record.

Reigning champion Joey Chestnut, of San Jose, California, finished second with 81 at the Krystal Square Off World Hamburger Eating Championship in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Those guys are going to die before they hit 50.

Seriously. I'm just trying to picture that amount of food on a table. How does that go in their stomach...?

 

[spidey07]

93 Krystal burgers!!! That's insane, especially since they can't dunk them now.

Is this a rule for all competitive eating now or just the burger contest?

From the article it appeared to be just this event as crystal burgers are mostly bun. Don't really know though.
