Day-Lee Foods World Gyoza Eating Championship

The Day-Lee Foods World Gyoza Eating Championship will feature a hungry field of competitors looking to claim their share of $6,000 in cash prizes. The record, set in 2012 by returning champ Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, is 266 gyoza—that’s about 10 pounds of potstickers—in only ten minutes! Will Joey break the record and retain his title?

As part of the Nisei Week Japanese Festival, both International Eating Superstars and amateur eaters will compete in the festival’s most extreme event. One of the most awe-inspiring events of the West Coast, this free event cannot be missed. Please note there is plenty of standing room, but seats are limited. Please arrive early!
