Competitive Eater Joey Chestnut Takes On St. Elmo’s Shrimp Cocktail This Weekend

While competitive eater Joey Chestnut is most well known for his work in the annual hot dog eating contest on Independence Day, he’s going to switch gears towards an Indianapolis staple on Saturday.

According to WRTV, Joey will team up with Miki Sudo to try and eat a combined 100 servings of shrimp cocktail in 20 minutes on Saturday here in Indy.

The annual St. Elmo Shrimp Cocktail Eating Championship normally takes place in front of fans during the Big Ten football championship weekend, but will run on Facebook Live on Saturday at 11 a.m.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Gleaners Food Bank, Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital and Wheeler Mission.
