Professional eater crushes 19 pizzas in 10 minutes at GTA competition
What’s more appalling (and impressive) than demolishing a full pizza to yourself in 10 minutes?
19 pizzas.
That’s how many 9-inch cheese-wheels Geoffrey Esper of Oxford, Massachusetts inhaled at Sunday’s Major League Eating-sanctioned event at the Vaughan Pizza Festival just north of Toronto. The official tally of consumption was actually 19.25 full-sized za’s in the allotted 600 seconds — a sensational feat of mental strength and intestinal athleticism, to say the least.
YOUR @allaboutvaughan results. All in 10 mins. All whole 9” personal pies:
1. Esper 19.25
2. Chestnut 17
3. Oji 11
4. Jacobs 9
5. Hazzard 8.25
6. Darrien Thomas 6
7. Jesse Kankula 5.75
8. John Jugovic 5.5
9. Stephen Dorgo 4
10. Humza Raza 2
11. Rovtar, R. 1.75

More impressive than taking down nearly two pizzas per minute and ingesting over 16,300 calories of greasy goodness in such a short span is the fact that he beat the GOAT of face-stuffing, Joey Chestnut, who finished second after slamming a measly and pathetic 17 pies.
Esper knows his way around the gluttony game, to be sure, as he currently holds the world record in the 10-inch division when he killed 83 slices in 10 minutes back in April.
