Did my guy really eat 13 pounds of potatoes?
he looks older than my 74 yr old dad and what happened with those earlobes lol
This guy seems like a genuinely awesome dude
hi i wont to become a competitive eater do you have any tips for me or any videos that talk about it
just try to eat a lot in a fast time
The whole thing seems gluttonous and wasteful. It’s surprising that more people aren’t ashamed of this.
This isn’t Africa buddy
No way it´s thogdad
“Athlete” WTF, the whole concept is grotesque.
I guess Joey can’t read too good. He sure can tho!
His face is melting.
This guy seems cool. Good job finding a way to succeed!
chest what
Bedland Chugs big.
i respect joey however i gotta say these so called achievements arent all that big of a deal
personally know about 3 bigger fellas who can down a whole plate of about 30 dogs within a few minutes
I just want to know how a platter of food 6 times the size of a human stomach can fit inside that stomach. Watch BeardMeetsFood. I do not believe the videos are real.
He better have the record for eating chestnuts
Gross lol
PAUSEEEE this whole video yo… 😂
Sorry, but I think competitive eating is a mockery of food-deprived people. It’s just gross. Zero respect for this guy & what he does. Sorry, not sorry.
Joey Chestnut is the brother of Cody Chestnut
Beard!!
