Vice.com Munchies interviews Joey Chestnut
Munchies.vice.com has an interview with Joey Chestnut about his eating techniques for various foods. In the steak section, he says the following about Molly Schuyler:
A lot of women can really eat—[competitive eater] Molly [Schuyler]’s nuts. She goes straight animal. I’ve never eaten a steak like that. She broke my record at the Big Texan. I just use a fork and knife. I didn’t even know you could eat a steak like that, but she went straight wolf. She tore through it like butter. It was insane. I don’t steal techniques from people, but we all borrow and try to enhance techniques from each other.”

I wonder if he’s at all nervous about the new kid Carmen?

I am guessing that he is going to keep trying to up his game precisely because of Carmen. Except for Kobayashi, no other newcomer has made such a statement of talent from the very beginning. Hotdogs are one of the most difficult foods too.

Have you looked up Carmen’s previous contests? Comparing him to Chestnut or Kobayashi? I guess Goldstein should be in the same league since he crushed Carmen at Wingbowl.

@1:37 do you think it’s possible that since wing bowl Carmen has gotten that much better? I do if you calculate how many hot dogs per minute he did compared to koby he’s actually just slightly quicker then Kobe was in his first year. If you calculate it out Koby was 4.166 hot dogs per minute and Carmen 4.2 give a year or two time I’m sure that if he can get more capacity he would surely be able to break world records with the hotdogs.

I think Carmen is laughing like hell at all this banter.

CE fan you really have no life if you have nothing better to do than calculate Kobe hot dog per minute ratio in comparison to Carmen Do something creative with your life

Kobayashi first nathans, ate 50 record was 25. Carmen first nathans, ate 13 and record was 69. I see your point, Carmen is far superior than Kobayashi. Did Conti ever eat 25 % less than Kobayashi in a contest? No but he did eat 25 % less then Carmen at kale. Seems to me that Joey should retire now before Carmen embarrasses him.

@1:53am I’m sure koby had contests prior to his first Nathan’s I highly doubt he was able to just walk off the street and be like “hey I’m going to go eat 50 hot dogs and set a world record” all I have is a lot of hope that we can see another new face give chestnut some competition Carmen might come in next year and only do 42 again or he could do more and pose threat to taking the mustard belt who know until it happens I’m just trying to see things from all angles of potential

Carmen doesn’t care about anything so why does he look on this site to see what is posted about him? He can’t be as anti-social as he appears to be.

If Kobe ate 25% more than Carmen he adjusted the ratio of 2 hot dogs per 003 % which cut down the percentages of 1.45 per chew which equals 1 dog more per minute . Boils down to 3% increase in Carmens dog per chew ratio Make sense?
