Joey Chestnut, the man known for shoving a record 76 hot dogs down his gullet in 10 minutes, will attempt to break the current Raising Cane's Chicken Finger Eating record.

According to WAFB, Chestnut is not only a hot dog eating champion, but he has also mastered cramming other popular foods into his ever-expanding stomach.

Of course, his hot dog prowess is well-known: he's won the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Championship a record 15 times. He's also set the National McDonald's Big Mac eating contest by downing 32 of them in just over a half hour.

And red beans and rice is no match for him, either. WAFB reports that he once guided 25 pounds of red beans and rice down his craw in 8 minutes. (No word on whether he used a funnel or not.)

And now, he's set to attempt the Raising Cane's Chicken Finger Eating record!

What's the current record? I have no clue, as there's no record of a record on the intrawebz.

But I did find one record among records on the Major League Eating website: a woman by the name of Sonya Thomas once ate nearly 7 pounds of Buffalo Chicken Tenders in 10 minutes. That was back in March of 2010.

I believe Chestnut will be able to make that record look like chicken scratch.

BOILED EGGS - 141 in 8 minutes

ASPARAGUS - Over 12 pounds in 10 minutes
