Joey Chestnut is best known for his, well, heroics on July 4 in the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. 

The world’s most famous competitive eater was back at it Tuesday during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ matchup against the Boston Celtics at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, participating in a pierogi eating contest at halftime. 

The other four contestants didn’t stand a chance. Chestnut wolfed down 39 pierogis in just two minutes.

The 40-year-old holds the world record for the hot dog eating contest, chowing down 76 frankfurters in 10 minutes in 2021.

Chestnut can now add the Cavaliers’ pierogi championship belt to his massive competitive eating trophy case.
