On Sunday, September 5th, Chestnut will take on twelve professional eaters in the United States Chicken Wing Eating Championship. This “Main Event”, which takes place at 3:30pm, includes festival favorite Sonya Thomas. Even though Sonya has dominated the competition by winning the last three years, it remains to be seen if she is good enough to beat Joey, who also has several titles “under his belt”, including his recent 4th straight victory in the prestigious Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating competition at Coney Island.
