Bay Area native Joey Chestnut eats tons of chicken nuggets at SF Giants game

It is always a party, or maybe a circus would be more apt, when the SF Giants take on the Los Angeles Dodgers at Oracle Park. Bay Area native Joey Chestnut was part of that circus on Friday night as he ate an insane number of chicken nuggets.

Chestnut, known for his dominance in the July 4th hot dog eating competition over the course of many years, was born in Vallejo and was at the game chomping down some nuggets while the game was going on.

Tonight, Joey Chestnut set out to eat 99 @ImpossibleFoods nuggets in 9 innings at @OracleParkSF

It's now the 5th inning, and @joeyjaws has eclipsed the 200 mark pic.
