 I think the most I've ever done in five minutes, even in practice, is 55. They were pushing me, and I wasn't holding back. Competitive eater Joey Chestnut was in a different location, but the outcome was the same. He outlasted four U.S. servicemen in a hot dog eating competition at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, devouring, get this, 57 hot dogs in just five minutes to their combined 49. He's incredible.
