World champion Joey Chestnut to defend bratwurst-eating crown at Oktoberfest Zinzinnati
Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, one of the world’s top-ranked competitive eaters, will return to Oktoberfest Zinzinnati, Sunday, Sept. 23, 2 p.m. at the Braxton Fass Bar at the corner of 3rd Street & Walnut Street in downtown Cincinnati.
Competitors will have ten minutes to consume as many bratwurst as they can, hoping to earn the title of Oktoberfest Zinzinnati World Bratwurst-Eating Champion.
"Bratwurst is among the most demanding disciplines on the competitive eating calendar, requiring a combination of jaw strength, hand speed and stomach capacity," said George Shea, Chair of Major League Eating. "The finest eaters in the world will gather in Cincinnati to prove their skill in pursuit of the World Brat-Eating Championship title.”
“To be the best, you have to eat the wurst,” said Cynthia Oxley, director of Oktoberfest Zinzinnati. “America’s Oktoberfest is ready to welcome returning champ Joey Chestnut and Major League Eating to Zinzinnati.”
At last year's Championship, Chestnut again proved that he is the greatest bratwurst-eater in the history of the world. Chestnut ate 49 brats in 10 minutes for the win—his eighth straight Cincinnati bratwurst-eating title. He remains undefeated at the event and is expected to defend his title again in 2018.
Chestnut will face fierce competition from a number of top-ranked Major League eaters. Scheduled to compete in the event are #5-ranked Darron Breeden from Orange, Va., #18-ranked George Chiger, #19-ranked Derek Jacobs from Vandalia, #21-ranked Matt Hazzard from Normal, Ill., #36-ranked Darrien Thomas from Orillia, Ontario and #38-ranked Matthew Raible from Peoria, Ill.
More than 80,000 bratwursts are consumed at Oktoberfest Zinzinnati each year. If placed end-to-end, they would equal the length of 29 Empire State Buildings. For more information and a schedule of events, visit
