Pat "Deep Dish" Bertoletti of Chicago beat Chestnut on Wednesday by one-tenth of a pound. Bertoletti downed 5.8 pounds in 12 minutes.

Wednesday's contest was the fourth annual and featured 12 competitors.

Chestnut, of San Jose, Calif., is ranked No. 1 in the International Federation of Competitive Eating. Bertoletti is rated second. Bertoletti says he prepared for the contest by not eating since a large meal on Tuesday. He won $2,500 and his name will adorn a trophy featuring three golden pigs.

Wow! I can't believe he ate so much ribs. I can only eat a slice and feel like I had enough,but this guy can eat a large amount. If I was in the contest where it is not a rib eating contest,(like desert)then maybe I can win the contest. Well, I know it is not as easy as what I think. It was awesome for him to win the contest.
