Pig out! Man eats 8 pounds of ribs in 12 minutes

Pig out! Man eats 8 pounds of ribs in 12 minutes Joey Chestnut has eaten his way to another ribs-eating title in Nevada.

The 26-year-old San Jose, Calif., man ate 8 pounds of pork ribs in 12 minutes to win the Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off's eating competition Wednesday night in Sparks.

America's No. 1 professional eater, Chestnut holds world eating records for ribs, steak, asparagus, hot dogs and hamburgers. It was his fourth win in five years in the Nugget's competition.

Pat Bertoletti of Chicago, who beat Chestnut last year, finished second by devouring 6.9 pounds of ribs.

Chestnut slid the meat off each bone with his hands and ate it in a ball, while Bertoletti bit off the bone each time.

Wow! How do you eat 8 pounds of ribs in 12 minutes? I just can't imagine myself doing that. Was he starving himself for the competition?

That's so gross I'd puke if I saw that guy eating I would literally gag and puke' gag and puke. That guy must have been disgustingly sticky afterwards.

I do not understand why people like him would like to eat that much food at once .I just know they would get sick!!! And if they don't then they are amazingly good eaters . That is all that I have to say.

He is very greedy for that because who eats that many ribs in 12 minutes hes going to get sick and his tummy is going to hurt for awhile.

Man, he ate 8 pounds of ribs. Not only did he eat 8 pounds of ribs but he did it in 12 minutes. I can eat 8 pounds of ribs but not in 12 minutes. If I tried that I would throw up. To me that's impossible to do.

That's sounds really good. I could never do that though. He probably ate a lot of food to train. They looked really good. I am now hungry.

That is a lot of ribs. I love ribs, but I know I wouldn't eat that many in 12 minutes. That is amazing, though. That guy must have a big appetite. I just can't believe he ate 8 pounds of ribs in 12 minutes. That is crazy.

That's seriously crazy how much he can eat! It's a bit ridiculous though since America is trying to reduce the amount of obese people in our country.
