PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 8 (UPI) -- Champion eater Joey "Jaws" Chestnut ate up the competition at the annual Bite of Oregon, scarfing 32 slices of pizza in 7 minutes.
Chestnut, 26, is considered the world's best speed eater, and his opponents were mere amateurs, the Portland Oregonian reported Sunday.
Chestnut's five opponents ate just 30 slices between them, although one competitor didn't get credit for one slice because he didn't eat the crust.
"I'm not a crust guy," Andy Hryciw told the paper. Not that it mattered.
Chestnut, of San Jose, Calif., won the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog-Eating Contest in New York for the fourth year in a row this year, and has been a competitive eater for a little more than five years. UPI
