A couple weeks ago, Matt Stonie, one of the best competitive eaters in the world, delivered a Twitter jab at the best competitive eater in the world—the Saturn-Devouring-His-Children of foodies, the seven-time winner of the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest, Joey Chestnut. Matt was mocking Joey for for not joining him on National Chicken Wing Day to do some friendly, nonsanctioned competitive noshing. Athletes belonging to more popular, more mainstream sports are normally too media conscious and sensitive to the brands that sponsor them, but competitive eaters are still free to be themselves in public. In Matt “Megatoad” Stonie’s case, that means he can good-naturedly banter at his rival and remind eating fans (there are eating fans out there) that there’s other competitors.@joeyjaws @Hooters im sitting at campbell right now. Competition would be nice.
