8/6 - Joey Chestnut, Sara Miller

Joey Chestnut - Championship Eater
Joseph Christian "Jaws" Chestnut (born November 25, 1983) is a 6-foot-tall (1.8 m), 218-pound engineering student who is more popularly recognized as an American competitive eater. He is currently ranked first in the world by the International Federation of Competitive Eating. He is a Vallejo, California, native who currently resides in San Jose, California.  On July 4, 2007, Chestnut won the 92nd Annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, beating six-time defending champion Takeru "Tsunami" Kobayashi by consuming 66 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes, which set a new world record. The following year, he successfully defended his title by winning a 5 hot dog eat-off after tying Kobayashi in consuming 59 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. On July 4, 2009, Chestnut outlasted Kobayashi again, by consuming a new world record of 68 hot dogs and buns and winning his third consecutive title. On July 4th, 2010, Chestnut took home his 4th consecutive Mustard Belt eating 54 dogs and buns. The 2010 contest was a runaway victory, as Kobayashi did not compete due to a contract dispute with Major League Eating.
