Thirty seconds into the very first Wisconsin State Fair World Cheese Curd Eating Championship, it looked like Joey Chestnut would achieve yet another record-breaking food feat. And to be frank (pun intended), why wouldn\u2019t he? The 11-time Nathan\u2019s champ had recently surpassed his own personal best, gulping down 74 hot dogs in 10 minutes at the annual July 4<\/span>th<\/span> hot dog eating tournament on Coney Island. Now, on August 11, 2018, Chestnut had already downed a half-pound of dairy onstage at the <\/span>State Fair’s Associated Bank Amphitheater\u2026and he still had <\/span>five-and-a-half minutes to go before finish time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Chestnut\u2014who holds several dozen eating records\u2014had naturally aimed big, resolving to guzzle down at least eight pounds of moist curdled milk bits. But halfway through the six-minute contest, an upset occurred. It wasn\u2019t somebody\u2019s queasy stomach, but a fellow competitor named Darron Breeden stealing the limelight. The high school teacher from Orange, Virginia was suddenly neck-and-neck with Chestnut, shoveling handfuls of curds into his mouth and washing them down with huge gulps of water.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was funny to watch, you know?\u201d recalled <\/span>Kay Schmitz, co-owner of Henning\u2019s Wisconsin Cheese, which supplied the competition with <\/span>125 pounds of cheese curds<\/a>. \u201cIt’s like, gosh, that guy has to be constipated.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t the first time Breeden\u2014a rising star in the competitive eating circuit who even has his <\/span>own YouTube channel<\/span><\/a>\u2014and Chestnut had found themselves neck-and-neck at a Major League Eating-sanctioned event. In February, the two faced off at the 2018 World Chili<\/a> Eating Challenge in Orlando, Florida, placing third and fourth, respectively.  This time around, though, their rivalry was closer than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

Five, four, three, two, one<\/span><\/i>\u2026 <\/span>surprise:<\/span><\/i> By the time the crowd counted down the contest\u2019s end, Chestnut had only downed four pounds and eight ounces of cheese curds. The average person can only eat maybe a quarter<\/span>-pound of the snacks, according to Schmitz\u2014but among his steel-stomached peers, Chestnut only scored third place. Breeden ate five pounds, two ounces of curd, besting both the famed champ and second-place winner Gideon Oji, who guzzled down four pounds, nine ounces. <\/span><\/p>\n

A relative novice to the competitive eating scene, Breeden, 29, gained national notice in 2016 when he ate 28 hot dogs in 10 minutes at a Nathan\u2019s Famous hot dog qualifier in Norfolk, Virginia. Since then, the teacher has placed third at the 2018 Nathan\u2019s contest (just behind Chestnut and competitor Carmen Cincotti), nabbed first place at the 2018 <\/span>Acme Oyster Eating Championship (Chestnut hates oysters), and secured his place among top Major League Eating heavyweights. <\/span>And now, he\u2019s set a world eating record and bested Chestnut in two individual events. This makes him a cheese champ worth watching.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Cheese<\/a>

Darron Breeden ate over five pounds of curds to beat his competitors.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s safe to say he\u2019s the fastest rising star in competitive eating,\u201d says Richard Shea, <\/span>co-founder and president of Major League Eating (MLE), the body that produces the Nathan\u2019s Famous July 4th Hot Dog Eating Contest and other similar promotional events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before becoming the newly anointed World Cheese Curd Eating Champion, <\/span>Breeden ranked eighth in the world among MLE members; his curd-eating prowess has since helped him skyrocketed to fifth. Breeden, however, still has a smaller ego than he does appetite. He modestly chalks up his success to his \u201cenormous gut,\u201d which he claims remains capacious even after losing as much as 100 pounds with diet and exercise. <\/span><\/p>\n

Breeden partook in his first food challenge in 2016, while teaching in Japan. The longtime <\/span>Man v. Food <\/span><\/i>fan scored a free restaurant meal by eating five pounds of curry rice; hooked, he completed similar tests upon his return to the U.S. before signing a contract with <\/span>MLE and hitting the pro circuit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Between competitions, Breeden trains by doing mock practice runs and by \u201cincreasing what I call my stomach capacity\u2014basically how much my stomach can hold\u2014by eating tons of low-calorie food,\u201d Breeden says. \u201cFor instance, some days I\u2019ll have a really large four-to-five pound salad, and after I finish eating I\u2019ll drink tons of fluids, like maybe a gallon of water and two-liter of soda or something like that.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Shea, himself, chalks the eater\u2019s success up to dedication, focus, mental focus, and raw talent. \u201cThere’s an inherent skill,\u201d he says. \u201cYou know, some people could take the violin, some people take to downhill skiing, golf\u2014[Breeden\u2019s] taken to competitive eating.\u201d Plus, he adds, top competitive eaters have varying degrees of \u201chand speed, jaw strength, and stomach capacity,\u201d and some are experts at consuming particular foods.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chestnut, for instance, can likely eat more hot dogs than anyone else in the entire world, Shea explains. But that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019ll be a dairy darling\u2014especially if he\u2019s more used to eating solid foods and if he didn\u2019t practice much before a match. This might explain his loss to Breeden.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cheese curds are ubiquitous in Wisconsin, where \u201cyou can go to almost any bar or eating establishment and there\u2019ll be deep fried cheese curds on the menu,\u201d Schmitz says. They\u2019re scarce elsewhere, so neither Chestnut or Breeden could attempt a trial run before the State Fair\u2014although the former did experiment with chopped-up mozzarella. But sometimes, intuition can supplant practice. \u201cEvery food has to be approached differently because of the different textures, how it goes down the throat, things like that,\u201d Breeden says. <\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to the cheese curd eating contest, Breeden gauged the food\u2019s texture and \u201cimmediately knew that it wasn’t going to be hard to eat fast,\u201d he says. \u201cI knew it was more of an eating technique contest than a stomach capacity one, meaning that it’s not one where you’re going to have to worry about filling up.\u201d He cut down on chewing\u2014and thus, on time\u2014by pounding down mouthfuls of cheese with water. <\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike Chestnut, who makes a living via sponsor<\/span>s, prize money, and appearance fees, <\/span>Breeden views competitive eating as just a delicious hobby at which he continues to improve and excel. \u201cIt\u2019s just a little victory, and plus, who doesn’t like a free meal, right?\u201d he laughs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chestnut, though, plays\u2014and eats\u2014to win. \u201c<\/span>No excuses,<\/span><\/a> I just was slow,\u201d Chestnut told news outlets after his Wisconsin State Fair loss. \u201cI didn\u2019t find a fast rhythm.\u201d He\u2019s vowed to practice for next year\u2019s event, this time with bona fide Wisconsin cheese curds instead of substitutes. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the meantime, Breeden hopes to enjoy Wisconsin\u2019s finest delicacy in his off-hours: \u201cAfter the contest, I ate cheese curds normally and I was like, \u2018This is pretty good, I could see myself eating it in a more recreational capacity\u2014not five pounds of it,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ll have a little bit of it with some crackers or some celery or something.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Still, as long as Breeden doesn\u2019t rest on his laurels\u2014dairy-wise, or otherwise\u2014the inaugural World Cheese Curd Eating Championship appears to have set the stage for a delicious rivalry between him and Chestnut.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI could see [Breeden] as the number one eater in the world someday,\u201d Shea said. \u201cI think he’ll have trouble knocking off Joey in hot dogs, and that’s typically what gives you that number one ranking, but I imagine his future’s quite bright.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
