And this one goes out to all my Knoxville peeps...

...because -- speaking of disgustingly gluttonous eating -- nobody over on this side of the continent can truly appreciate the true horrific-ness of this:

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - A competitive eater who has already triumphed at a famous hot dog eating contest swallowed 103 small hamburgers in 8 minutes Sunday to take home $10,000.

Joey Chestnut, 23, of San Jose, Calif., surpassed the previous record of 97 Krystal burgers -- 2 1/2 inches square -- held by Japan's Takeru Kobayashi, set at last year's Krystal Square Off.



103 Krystal burgers. In 8 minutes. That, my friends, is the definition of gross. Or maybe I mean fantastic. My brain can't even wrap itself around this. Also gross? What Joe Chestnut's turds must have looked like during the bowel movement he inevitably had to suffer through immediately following the collection of his giant $10,000 check.

I would also like to state that this in no way whatsoever means that I have joined the Chestnut camp. Kobayashi is The One True Eating Champion of the Universe, forever and ever, amen. But, damn. 103 Krystals?! My sphincter cringes at the thought.

  1. Eeewww. Now why did you have to go there. Bad enough we have to imagine someone stuffing their face of 103 burgers, but to imagine the aftermath to those burgers?
    Here's a mental picture to rival yours... you were not immaculatedly conceived. Ha!
