CINCINNATI, Sept. 18 (UPI) -- Competitive eating phenom Joey "Jaws" Chestnut won the World Bratwurst Eating Championship in Cincinnati, downing more than 35 of the sausages in 10 minutes.
Chestnut, who has won multiple world competitive eating titles and broke the Cincinnati event's record last year by eating 42 bratwursts, fasted for two days in advance of Saturday's competition, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported Sunday. The California competitor said he was a little disappointed in his performance this year, despite the win before a crowd of 4,000.
Chestnut took home $2,000 in prize money from the eating contest, which is part of the annual Oktoberfest-Zinzinnati.
