It was all about the ice cream and Joey Chestnut

What's better than hot weather and ice cream?
At the Austin Ice Cream Festival out at Waterloo Park it was all about the ice cream eating contest.
And guess who was there, competing? None other than the current world eating champion Joey Chestnut.
“I've been doing these contests for about 5 years and I've just been having a blast,” Chestnut said. “I get to travel around the country and meet tons of great people and get to eat...that's a good deal!"
The contest lasted five minutes.
When it was all over, Chestnut ate more than one and a quarter gallons of ice cream.
Nobody else even came close.

Interesting shirt Joey!
