A new champion was crowned in Saturday’s annual World Famous Cases's Pork Roll Eating Championship in Trenton.
Joey Chestnut returned to try to get the title he won in the first and second years of the event, but he would be outdone.
The new champion is Geoffrey Esper from Massachusetts.
Esper ate 50 pork roll sandwiches in 10 minutes.
"I live in California and can get hot dogs and Nathan’s hot dogs easily, but pork roll, that's really New Jersey,” says Chesnut. “You have to live out here to get it. So next year, I'm going to have them ship me out some so I can practice with it and build a tolerance to the food. "
Esper's total also beat Chestnut's record of 43.
Chestnut came in second with 38 sandwiches.
