SPARKS, Nev. (AP) Joey Chestnut has eaten his way to another rib-eating contest in Nevada.
The 26-year-old San Jose, Calif., man ate 8 pounds of pork ribs in 12 minutes to win the Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off's eating competition on Wednesday night in Sparks.
America's No. 1 professional eater, Chestnut holds world records in rib, steak, asparagus, hot dog and hamburger eating.
His win was his fourth in five years in the Nugget's competition.
Pat Bertoletti of Chicago, who defeated Chestnut last year, finished second on Wednesday night by devouring 6.9 pounds of ribs.
Chestnut slid the meat off each bone with his hands and ate it in a ball, while Bertoletti bit off the bone each time.
