Mike Safo with Patrick Bertoletti, 2024 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Champion

Joined today by the number two competitive food eater in the world and the 2024 Nathan‘s hot dog eating champion, Patrick Bartolo. Patrick talks about growing up in Chicago, going to culinary school and opening up his restaurant Taco In a Bag. We go over how his love of food and eating got him into the world of competitive food eating. We chat about his time on America’s Got Talent where he ate 120 raw eggs and he shares some of his world records, such as eating 20 pounds of blueberries in eight minutes 11 pounds of Key lime pie in eight minutes and 34 dozen oysters in eight minutes. From his training regimen to win the mustard belt, to his friendship with Joey Chestnut and  how his life has changed after winning the legendary food eating contest in the world. All this and more with one of the most hungriest people I’ve had on the.
