Date: 03-10-2019
Winner: Joey Chestnut, with a WR 185 Catalina croquetas in 8 min!

CHESTNUT SMASHES WORLD CROQUETA-EATING RECORD!

¡Atención! We have great news to share: El Croquetazo At Calle Ocho Music Festival Presented By Catalina returns to Major League Eating’s 2019 slate of sanctioned eating championships. Eaters from far and wide are warmly encouraged to sign up for the chance to compete in this epic and frankly delicious battle of man versus man versus woman versus woman versus croqueta.

At the 2018 Championship, Geoff Esper took the top spot by eating a staggering 154 Catalina croquetas in just eight minutes of sanctioned competition; he would finish agonizingly close to the world record mark of 158, set by Carmen Cincotti the previous year. Those with designs on the 2019 title would be wise to visualize a world in which 159 or more croquetas in eight minutes is a possibility that will become reality.

Do you have what it takes to set a new Catalina croquetas record? Do you want to test yourself in the cauldron of competition that is El Croquetazo at Miami’s world-famous Calle Ocho Music Festival? Or do you simply want to watch the best in the world do what they do so very well? At the table or in the crowd—this is the 2019 installment of El Croquetazo At Calle Ocho Music Festival Presented By Catalina! Don’t you ever miss it!
