REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS CLOSED DUE TO CAPACITY!

No sleep ’til Trenton! New Jersey—like you don’t know—is the spiritual home of recreational and competitive pork roll consumption and the mighty Case’s Pork Roll Sandwich is the finest exponent of the cuisine in the Garden State. To visit Trenton, NJ, and not enjoy a Case’s Pork Roll Sandwich would be like visiting Paris and not enjoying a croissant or going to St. Louis and not eating fried raviolis for some reason.

And thus it is that we return to Trenton Thunder Ballpark for the 2022 installment of the River Fest Featuring The Trenton Thunder World Famous Case's Pork Roll Eating Championship. Major League Eaters from near and far are warmly encouraged to sign up for the chance to compete.

At the 2021 event, Joey Chestnut ate 45 Case’s Pork Roll Sandwiches in 10 minutes for the win. Nick Wehry finished second with 41, while Brazil’s Ricardo Corbucci took the bronze with 36. Chestnut’s world record in the discipline—61.5 Case’s Pork Roll Sandwiches in 10 minutes, set in 2019—will be on the line this year.

Do you have what it takes to take the gold and the big money? Will you break Chestnut’s world record? Maybe? Probably not? No? Do you simply want to watch the best in the world do what they do so well? This is River Fest Featuring The Trenton Thunder World Famous Case's Pork Roll Eating Championship! At the table or in the crowd—don't you ever miss it!
