Competitive eating legend Joey Chestnut tackles 16 pounds of baked beans in a high stakes MrBeast grocery store challenge
Competitive eating champion Joey Chestnut recently faced off against content creator MrBeast and several contestants in a viral grocery store challenge, according to information published by dexerto.

Chestnut entered near the end of the broadcast to take on a massive bean consumption task, serving as the ultimate boss battle for the remaining participants.
MrBeast grocery store challenge details
The high stakes competition featured four contestants who had to race against the legendary eater. The group needed to finish 8 pounds of baked beans before Chestnut managed to consume 16 pounds entirely on his own using a ladle.
MrBeast told the participants before the showdown that eating 16 pounds of beans qualified as a world record. The contestants ultimately finished their portion first, earning themselves brand new cars for the feat.
Following the competition, Chestnut received a custom MrBeast-branded belt to mark his participation in the viral food stunt, though the official status of the record remains uncertain without governing body involvement.
Competitive eating records and rules
While the YouTube video labeled the feat as a world record, the exact legitimacy lacks formal confirmation. The challenge featured no set time limit, and no representatives from Major League Eating or Guinness World Records were present on set.
For comparison, the current Major League Eating record for baked beans belongs to Gideon Oji, who successfully ate 10 pounds in just one minute and forty-five seconds back in 2020.
This collaboration is not the first time Chestnut has beaten the popular YouTuber at a food challenge. The duo previously faced off in 2020, when Chestnut outate MrBeast and six friends to finish the world largest pizza slice.

The release of the baked bean video arrives during an exceptionally busy period for the professional eater. Joey Chestnut recently secured a victory at the World Poutine Eating Championship in Toronto.
In addition to his success in Canada, the competitive eating star recently set a brand new pancake eating record during an appearance in the state of Virginia, continuing his dominant streak across multiple food categories.
