Joey Chestnut ate 5 pounds of food in 7:17 to win the Buffet Bowl at the Buffalo Wing Festival.
PamplinMedia reports that Joey Chestnut will judge a cooking contest Saturday at Chinook Winds in Lincoln City, OR, site of an IFOCE rib eating contest from 2003 to 2010. This will preclude him from doing the Buffet Bowl at the Buffalo Wingfest and probably make travel to Sunday's wing eating contest unpleasant, which he is still doing according to a Daily News Online interview.
The Daily News has a preview of Saturday's Day-Lee Foods World Gyoza Eating Championship in Los Angele.
