Bay Area native and competitive eating legend Joey "Jaws" Chestnut is gearing up to make another new record.
Chestnut will face off (or eat off?) against a fan at the San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers game Friday at Oracle Park. And it won't be hot dogs at the competition -- the 17-time Mustard Belt winner will take on 99 Impossible Foods plant-based chicken nuggets in nine innings.
Chestnut was born in Vallejo and spent time in San Jose while in college and became a household name in the world of competitive eating. He also holds eating records in timed contests for hard boiled eggs, asparagus, pulled pork sandwiches, tacos, chicken wings and burgers.
