    Just guessing, but probably Juan ate 31 since the tweet says “with a personal best.”

    @ 602, Your a joke. Do you know how hard it is to make it to nathans once. To make it 9 years in a row shows that he is a true competetive eating warrior. Not everyone can be Joey Chestnutt or Matt Stonie.

    What does it matter there are other low ranked eaters that don’t travel.It’s not like he is any good.If there are a few contest in your state than stay an do them.MLE had three in Texad this year not including hooters contest which it showed he did.If it bothers you to mention it eat with those eaters
