Earlier this year competitive eating god Joey Chestnut obliterated Japanese legend Kobayashi in a world-record breaking hot dog eat-off. Now Joey’s moved beyond the dogs and is the new record holder for most pizza slices consumed in ten minutes.

The record was set at the Famous Famiglia pizza-eating contest in Times Square. The previous record was 22 slices in ten minutes by Chicago chef Patrick Bertoletti. And how many did Joey inhale? Forty-five. Yes, he more than doubled the old record and speculation about whether he’s actually some sort of alien matter-annihilating device continues to grow.

Fun fact of the day: Joey Chestnut is one of the only people in the world to ever complete the gallon of milk challenge (in 41 seconds no less).
