Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> offensive linemen, prepare to get your wish.<\/p>\nThe man they call “Jaws” housed an absolutely mind-boggling 10.5 slices of cake in just five minutes, while the four Buccaneers teamed up for 9.5.<\/p>\n
That meant that Chestnut set a world record for chocolate cake eating.<\/p>\n
This could be one of the most incredible gastronomic feats we’ve ever seen out of Chestnut, which is saying something.<\/p>\n
If you’re a mere mortal like me, one piece of chocolate cake with chocolate icing like that will make you want to curl up in a ball and fall asleep. It’s just so rich, sweet, and heavy.<\/p>\n
But Chestnut is no mere mortal.<\/p>\n
He housed more cake than the cast of “The View” on an intern’s birthday.<\/p>\n
Unreal.<\/p>\n
Oh, and would it be a competitive eating feat without a shout-out from the sport’s most important sponsor?<\/p>\n
Of course, we’re just a few months away from the granddaddy of them all, the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.<\/p>\n
Last year, Chestnut made his triumphant return after a controversial one-year hiatus over a sponsorship dispute. Upon his return, he took an unprecedented 17th mustard yellow belt, and I don’t think there’s any reason to bet against him getting No. 18 on the Fourth of July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joey ‘Jaws’ is simply not a mere mortal.
