CHESTNUT PREVAILS IN WORLD'S FIRST WORLD CHICKEN SPIEDIE EATING CHAMPIONSHIP!

When the history of Chicken Spiedie consumption is written—and it will be written—save a chapter for what transpired at Tioga Downs in Nichols, NY on Saturday July 26th, 2014. Because on that day, the world's first Chicken Spiedie-eating contest was held and was won by Joey Chestnut. For those who have been paying attention, this should come as no surprise: Spiedies are delicious and Chestnut eats like a God who calls Earth his home.

The Tioga Downs World Chicken Spiedie Eating Championship Presented by Lupo’s was a 10-minute celebration of this New York institution. Never heard of the chicken spiedie? Friend, you have not lived! The term "spiedie" comes from the Italian spiedo, meaning spit or spiedini, referring to cubes or balls of meat cooked on a skewer. This is what Wikipedia says and that means that it is 100 percent true. The spiedie is renowned throughout central New York and calls Endicott its spiritual home.

Major League Eaters who competed at The Tioga Downs World Chicken Spiedie Eating Championship Presented by Lupo’s quickly learned what residents of the area have long known to be true: Spiedies are straight boss. Chestnut knows this. Marcos Owens—who finished second—knows this. Third-place finisher Badlands Booker knows this. Everyone—to a man or woman—who ate on this historic day knows this. Full results below.
