Meatball-eating winner snarfs 50 in 10 minutes
By Associated Press
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Joey Chestnut maintained his dominance in the sport of competitive eating - and expanded his palate - by winning the first-ever Martorano's Masters Meatball Eating Championship in Las Vegas.
Chestnut on Sunday gobbled 50 meatballs in 10 minutes at the Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino. The 6.25 pounds was a new world record and earned him the first-place prize of $1,500. Pat "Deep Dish" Bertoletti finished in second place, just one meatball behind Chestnut. Sonya Thomas, weighing in at 105 pounds, ate 42 meatballs to finish third. The event was a Major League Eating-sanctioned competition. Chestnut's resume also includes hot dog, pizza and chicken wing contests. |
