“It's addicting, beating the heck out of people and eating hot dogs and...” — Joey Chestnut Quote

“It's addicting, beating the heck out of people and eating hot dogs and making people smile. I do feel like garbage afterwards, but so what? Most people feel like garbage after a long day of work.”

“There's no better feeling than knowing I'm going to break the guy next to me. His body will shut down, and I will keep eating. Then I will look out and see a crowd of happy people.”

“I remember as a kid watching that movie - 'Cool Hand Luke' - with my grandfather.”

“Smile. It instantly lifts the face, and it just lights up the room.”

“I always said that if I could just find a guy who could chop wood and had a nice smile, it wouldn't bother me if he was a thug or an aristocrat, as long as he was a good guy. And I've ended up with an educated thug.”

“I can remember being a kid and watching Vanilla Ice and it made me smile... I love it. I love that. I can remember seeing Vanilla Ice and then through time he stopped being Vanilla Ice.”
