Sonya had to come from behind to defeat Joey Chestnut (and Rich Lefevre in the San Diego grilled cheese contest) . This makes it six months since she has lost a contest to someone besides Kobayashi. Her defeat at the February 4 Wing Bowl was marked by controversy and it may have been due to incorrectly judging the amount of wings she ate. The only other contest she has lost to someone besides Kobayashi in the past twelve months was a baked bean contest in November in which the beans were overheated. You have to go back to Nathan’s last year to find the last instance someone besides Kobayashi (Nobuyuki Shirota) defeated Sonya in a non-controversial contest.
Sonya and Joey Chestnut broke IFOCE’s bratwurst record of 19.5 a little after the midway point in the contest. She was in good enough condition at the end of the contest to eat an additional bratwurst after time expired (the same could not be said for Joey Chestnut)
Sonya’s next contest will probably be at the lobster festival in Maine August 13. This will give her contests in two of the four corners of the country in ten days.
