“I have to eat healthy, and I recover. I run, and I lift weights.” — Joey Chestnut Quote

I have to eat healthy, and I recover. I run, and I lift weights.

When I'm in training, I eat no solid food except hot dogs for six weeks.

There's a couple of foods that if you see me eat them in a contest, you can tell I like them. Grilled cheese sandwiches, chicken wings, ribs, hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza. I mean, those, they go down like I was made to eat them.

Everything at a baseball game is pretty much health food if you subscribe to the theory that you're eating what makes you happy.

Once I get a rhythm going, I can jump those hot dogs down.

To lose yourself in righteous service to others can lift your sights and get your mind off personal problems, or at least put them in proper focus.

That's been a real positive, wonderful thing that's a part of the music that I've been a part of - making someone lift their head up or making someone feel OK.

I love to lift after games.

'The Taxi Ride,' from my second album, is one people want to hear a lot. I'm consciously trying to walk on the sunny side of the street, to really lift myself into a place of greater positivity, and that's a sad song.

It's really important to be surrounded by people who are going to lift you up.
