James Webb wins Wonderful Pistachios, Joey Chestnut 5th
update Feb 28
Santa Monica Closeup and Ed Woo have videos
Santa Monica Daily Press has an article
Results from James Webb’s video (announcement starts at 33:35): 8 minute contest
1 James Webb 338 pistachios
2T Nick Wehry 221
2T Darrien Thomas 221
4 Steve Hammond 191
5T Joey Chestnut 167
5T Bartley Weaver 167
7 Joey Bosa 152
8 Gideon Oji 147
I think this is the first time Joey Chestnut’s contest total has ever been doubled. Even in his first Nathan’s finals in 2005, he still ate about 2/3 of what Takeru Kobayashi did (32 hot dogs vs. 49)
Joey Bosa finished ahead of MLE’s #6 eater, Gideon Oji.
In a post contest interview on stage, Darrien Thomas said he not only abstained from training, he had never eaten a pistachio before the competition. That handicap did not prevent him from finishing second.
TMZ has an interview with Los Angeles Chargers defender Joey Bosa about competing in today’s Wonderful Pistachios Get Crackin’ Eating Championship at the Santa Monica Pier. Bosa is not the first NFL defensive lineman to compete in a Major League Eating contest, In 2003 William Perry competed in the Nathan’s hot dog finals and ate 4 hot dogs before quitting midway through the competition. In 2005, Perry also particpated in the Trip Rewards World Birthday Cake Eating Championship and finished last.
