You love to go out. We love to go out. You love to eat. We love to eat. You love to drink. Well, you get the idea. So when you're itching for the lastest Chicago nightlife has to offer, check out The Extrovert for up-to-the minute details on the scene.
The pride of Chicago
He can't throw a touchdown. He can't hit a home run. But Joey Chestnut can eat. A lot.
On Sunday, Chestnut ate 103 small, square Krystal hamburgers in 8 minutes--8 minutes!--to win $10,000 and first place in the Krystal Square Off. That broke the record of 97 burgers set by Japan's Takeru Kobayashi, who also lost his hot-dog-eating title this year when Chestnut took down 59.5 hot dogs in 12 minutes at Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest.
For what it's worth, Kobayashi didn't participate in this year's Krystal Square Off due to jaw pain from a wisdom tooth extraction. Or was the former champ just scared to come in second?
Could you eat 103 burgers in 8 days? Whose burgers are the easiest to eat quickly? What spot has the best burger that deserves to be savored?
