Lay Off Me, I'm Starving!

Congratulations, Joey Chestnut for getting fatter and managing to look oh so pretty in the press pictures! I may sound mean, but really I’m just jealous. I wish I could scarf down 45 slices of pizza in 10 minutes. That’s over 5.5 pizzas! The world of competitive eating really intrigues me and I wish I could make a living off eating pizzas and hotdogs. Who wouldn’t want that career?

Chestnut currently holds the record for the most hot dogs eaten in 12 minutes with 66 dogs and buns. His technique to eating so much is to stretch his stomach muscles out with one gallon of water the morning of the event and not to eat for two days prior.

Not only did Chestnut win the title of the most pizza eaten in a 10-minute span, but he also won 11,700 calories, 420 grams of fat and $5,000 dollars.

Second place winner, Patrick Bertoletti, should be ashamed of himself for only eating a mere 43 slices. I’m sorry, but that is really lame Patrick. Step it up next time, will ya. This is the big leagues, not some child's pizza party.

Now, if only there was a competition for eating the most frozen yogurt, Schmerwick would for sure place first!
