Who do you think will win? Tell us!

On April 25, 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 four years in a row. Each year he has also beaten his own record. There is reason to believe that, whoever can topple Chestnut in asparagus can become the best speed-eater in the world.

The Stockton Asparagus Festival is a three-day, multi-event, food and entertainment festival that pays homage to all things asparagus.

The festival features two performing stages, an Asparagus Alley with the best deep fried asparagus found anywhere, one of the finest celebrity chef cooking demonstration kitchens, a fabulous Spear-Its of the Valley wine and beer pavilion, a craft show, exhibits by more than 70 food purveyors and 100 specialty merchandise vendors, and much more!

All eaters must be at least 18.

ATTN, Registration for this event has been changed and will begin on Wednesday, March 5th at noon.
