GoldenPalace.net Spring Break Challenge at the University of Arizona Spring Fling

Location: Tucson, AZ
Date: 04-08-2006
Winner: Joey Chestnut

At 3:00pm on April 8, 2006--one short day after the students got schooled, professional gurgitators from around the country converged upon the University of Arizona Spring Fling for their own chance at eternal glory. More stomach capacity. More jaw strength. More pride. More prize money.

Joey Chestnut set a new record in jalapeno poppers, consuming 118 of the deep-fried treats in 10 minutes. Closely nipping at his heels were powerhouse Pat Bertoletti with 105 poppers, and Eater X Tim Janus in third with 96.
