Bertoletti Topples asparagus King

Patrick Bertoletti, a world-class eater whose enormous talent has been largely overlooked by the media, today beat Joey Chestnut in asparagus, downing 7 pounds, 5.81 ounces -- three full ounces more than Chestnut.

The victory was significant, as asparagus was Chestnut's first major win in his phenomenal rookie year.

Resurgent Badlands Booker places third with 5 pounds even.
