A fun addition to this weekend’s Bite of Seattle festivities included Jimmy John’s Freaky Fast Sandwich Making and Eating Contest. Organizers pitted three of the fastest Jimmy John’s sandwich makers in Seattle against three world-class eaters from Major League Eating to see who was faster, including Joey Chestnut, the No. 1 eater in the world, fresh off his 4th consecutive win at the 4th of July Nathan’s famous hot dog eating championship and Ben Monson, this year’s MLE Rookie Of The Year.Here’s a mouthful of pics from the fun.Photos by Matt Mason.Published on July 19, 2010
