    If you thought Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest was gross, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

    On Saturday, The World Turkey-Eating Championship got an early start to the Thanksgiving festivities. World famous “competitive eater” Joey Chestnut downed 9.35 pounds of turkey, which was enough to set a brand new world record. For his reward, Joey pocketed $5,000. Imagine how many practice turkeys he could buy with that.

    Gobble Gobble! Check out some of the footage above.
