“I travel pretty much every weekend of the summer. And then during the ...” — Joey Chestnut Quote

“I travel pretty much every weekend of the summer. And then during the winter, I still do appearances and a couple contests here and there.”

“Pretty much all I'm doing during an eating contest is being uncomfortable and not forgetting to breathe.”

“Traveling around the world to eat, it's a weird life, but I love it.”

“The commitments, schedule and sponsor appearances don't change. It gets more busy, because you get more popular, and the more popular you are, it actually gets more busy. They're like, 'Yeah, let's use her, she's hot right now. Let's do a shoot!'”

“So it took me five years because in the interim I have been doing a lot of personal appearances and movies and some television series that went into the plumbing and I stopped writing for a while.”

“Here I am getting $50,000 for personal appearances. Everyone wants a piece of me. But my kids think no one could possibly think Dad is cool.”
