CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) - Joey Chestnut isn't exactly losing his
appetite. But he did eat 10 fewer Krystal burgers this year.
Chestnut still managed to down 93 Krystals in just eight minutes
yesterday in Chattanooga, Tennessee. That's good enough to retain
his crown as the Krystal burger eating champ. He put away 103 at
last year's Krystal Square Off, setting a new record. The
24-year-old Californian wins 20,000 bucks for his big appetite this
year.
