Competitive eater Joey "Jaws" Chestnut is troubled over what he is consuming in a clip shot at a brain-eating contest.

Chestnut participated in a competition held in Minneapolis every year. This Saturday was the date of the 9th annual Zombie Pub Crawl.

27-year-old Chestnut ate 54 pork-brain tacos in just 8 minutes, HuffPost writes. He took home the $1,000 (€740) prize, and beat rival Matt "Mega-Toad" Stonie.

Eat Feats writes that Stonie also ingested about 53.5 tacos which included prime brain meat. Chestnut believed that the concept of eating pig brain was quite "disgusting."

"[The tacos] actually didn't taste too bad, but the whole thought of eating brain - I had a couple of big gags," he says.
