Joey Chestnut Absolutely Dominates Food Eating Contest At NBA Game
Joey Chestnut isn't worried about saving room for Thanksgiving tomorrow...
The legendary food eating star attended Wednesday night's Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Atlanta Hawks game. While the Cavs entered Wednesday night's game an impressive 17-1, it was Chestnut who really stood out on the court. The 41-year-old hot dog eating contest legend took on some competition in a pierogi eating contest. Pierogis, for those unaware, are Polish dumplings. They're made of unleavened dough boiled in water, with something like cheese, potatoes or ground meat typically filled in the center.
Chestnut, who holds the world record for most hot dogs eaten in 10 minutes, with 83, absolutely dominated the pierogi competition on Wednesday night.
