Food eating contests around the world

The Day-Lee Foods World Gyoza Eating Championship, August
Record: Joey Chestnut with 384 gyoza in 10 minutes

All-you-can-eat restaurants beware: Joey Chestnut might give you a run for your money. Chestnut essentially ate 64 typical gyoza appetizers during the Day-Lee Foods World Gyoza Eating Championship. But gyoza is more than just the soft meat-and-veggie-filled dumpling we know and love: It's part of the Japanese culture that's celebrated during the Nisei Week Japanese Festival which raises money to support Japanese American Cultural foundations.
