    Big congrats to all those who qualified. Does anyone know how many the 2nd & 3rd place guys in Phoenix ate? Are they “names”?

    Yo Mama, Andy Dickman ate 13 and John Riddle ate 12. Both are locals and were blown away by the great Joey Chestnut. The crowd was in awe as Joey crushed the world record. This was my first time attending an event and boy did Joey put on a outstanding performance. I also had a chance of meeting Charles Hardy, he too made the event memorable.
