Joey Chestnut has eaten his way to another rib-eating title. The 26-year-old Californian ate eight pounds of pork ribs in 12 minutes to win the Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off’s eating competition Wednesday in Sparks, Nev. America’s No. 1 professional eater, Chestnut holds world eating records for ribs, steak, asparagus, hot dogs and hamburgers. It was his fourth win in five years in the Nugget’s competition. Chicago’s Pat Bertoletti, who beat Chestnut last year, finished second by devouring 6.9 pounds of ribs. Chestnut slid the meat off each bone with his hands and ate it in a ball.
