I met Joey Chestnut in 2019

I thought about Joey Chestnut when I read this Washington Post Instragram post. I met him in 2019 when he was touring Hooters promoting their all-you-can eat wings. He ate 230 wing pieces in an hour which was a personal record for him.

He was very friendly and unpretentious. He even stayed around after the wing-eating was over.

I hope every child gets the chance to watch Joey Chestnut teach their dad how to eat hotdogs
