On April 26, the nation's finest athletes will once again converge upon the town of Stockton, CA for the World Deep-Fried Asparagus Eating Championship. Joey Chestnut has dominated this event since his first year on the circuit, and has taken home the title three years in a row. Each year he has also beaten his own record.
