Eat Your Face Off: Joey Chestnut Competes in Las Vegas Bagel Eating Championship
When it comes to the best bagels in the world, no one thinks of Las Vegas. That's not the case when it comes to the world's biggest bagel eaters.
The World Bagel Eating Championship will be held for the second consecutive year on Saturday, January 13, at Siegel's Bagelmania in Sin City. The winner will receive a $10,000 prize. There may also be indigestion.
Last year, gambler Geoff Esper won the battle to gain weight by eating 17.75 bagels in eight minutes. And includes cream cheese. Following the Massachusetts native were Nick Wehry and Miki Sudo, who consumed 14.75 and 12.75 bagels respectively during the same time period.
The Unsettling Factor: Joey Chestnut
It will be difficult for Esper to repeat his performance, as Joey Chestnut will commemorate this year's Bagel Symphony. Chestnut, 40, is ranked No. 1 in the world in competitive eating and began his long and illustrious career with a shocking victory in the 2007 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest after failing to chew his food properly.
Chestnut set a new world record by swallowing 66 francs in 12 minutes, defeating six-time defending champion Takeru "Tsunami" Kobayashi in the process. In 2021, Li Zi ate 76 hot dogs, setting a world record that still stands today.
Werri and Sudo, along with James Webb of Australia, Patrick Bertoletti of Chicago and Derek Hendrickson of Las Vegas, will join Chestnut and Ace in 2024 Amber's ranks.
All the major competitors come to Las Vegas to showcase their talents and become world champions," said competition organizer Sam Barclay of Major League Eating in a press release. "This year , we expect a new world record to be set as our top eaters compete for the prestigious title of Bagel Eating Champion. "
This year’s World Bagel Championships will be held on Saturday, January 13 at 11 a.m. at Siegel’s Bagelmania (252 Convention Center Drive). Admission to the viewing is free, but participants must register.
