“Joey Chestnut’s Bizarre Feast: Did He Really Devour the Whole ‘Stranger Things’ Cast in Under 10 Minutes?”
In a wildly absurd spectacle that could only exist in a world where competitive eating meets pop culture, Joey Chestnut has done the unimaginable—he reportedly devoured the entire cast of Netflix’s *Stranger Things* in under ten minutes! That’s right, folks! Imagine sitting down to a friendly meal only to realize it’s not a Saturday night feast but rather a viewing party for the gastronomic adventures of one man against an entire ensemble of actors. Chestnut faced off against his perennial rival, Takeru Kobayashi, in a live-streamed showdown titled *Chestnut vs. Stranger Things: The Final Chow-Down*.
Now, seriously, did anyone see that coming? The hunger for victory drove Chestnut to consume a staggering 83 cast members and extras—yes, names like Maya Hawke and Finn Wolfhard were on the menu. He admitted that there were moments when he truly contemplated whether he could continue, but his determination and, let’s be honest, a splash of water, spurred him on. The high-stakes drama of competitive eating never seemed so surreal—or so humorously grotesque! With a new record-breaking performance under his belt, I’m left pondering: what could possibly be next? A face-off with the cast of *The Office*? Hold onto your snacks, folks—this show isn’t over yet!
LAS VEGAS—In a triumphant victory over longtime rival Takeru Kobayashi during a live-streamed Netflix special, competitive eater Joey Chestnut reportedly ate the entire cast of Stranger Things in under 10 minutes Thursday. “There were times in there when I didn’t know if I’d be able to choke down another one of those kids, but I just kept drenching them in water and sucking down as many of them as I could,” Chestnut said in a post-competition interview for the special, entitled Chestnut vs. Stranger Things: The Final Chow-Down, in which he credited years of training for his ability to eat 83 cast members and extras from the science-fiction series, including Maya Hawke, Finn Wolfhard, and Millie Bobby Brown. “The rules make it so their clothes have to stay on, which takes up a ton of space in your stomach. There’s also all the gristle you have to spit out. But when I saw Kobayashi sliding David Harbour down his throat without even chewing, I knew I needed to keep pushing. Obviously, we’ve had our differences, but Takeru really inspires me to get better, y’know?” The special ended with confetti showering down on Chestnut as officials certified that he had broken his own 2020 record for eating the entire cast of Outer Banks.
