Total Prizes: $2,250

Summary
Last year, rookie phenom Joey Chestnut was discovered at the Stockton Asparagus Festival in Stockton, CA. This year, Chestnut will return to defend his title on April 22 at the World Deep-Fried Asparagus-Eating Championship.

Chestnut took the title and the $1,000 cash prize in 2004 by consuming a total of 6.3-pounds of deep-fried Stockton asparagus consumed in 11-1/2 minutes. It was a controversial event, with Rich LeFevre neck and neck until the end.

The Stockton Asparagus Festival is a three-day, multi-event, food and entertainment festival, which celebrates asparagus. The festival, held April 21-23, features three performance stages, an Asparagus Alley with the best deep-fried asparagus found anywhere, one of the finest celebrity chef cooking demonstration kitchens, a classic car show, a fabulous Spear-Its of the Valley wine and beer pavilion, a craft show, and exhibits by more than 70 food purveyors and 100 specialty merchandise vendors. www.asparagusfest.com.
