Joey Chestnut reveals foods he won't eat in competition as he tours minor league stadiums for local delicacies

OutKick host Dan Dakich joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss his reaction to Chestnut's ban and Caitlin Clark being left off Team USA. 

Joey Chestnut will eat almost anything.

The 17-time Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest champion is the greatest competitive eater of all time, once even chowing down cow brain tacos.

But there are two foods that are off limits.

"The only things that would stop me is if I'm, like, really worried about getting sick," said Chestnut who apparently has no concerns about cow brain.

"Like raw oysters. I'd have to be really confident that these oysters are coming from somewhere where I'm not going to get sick."

There are some foods that seem tasty at first, but they do provide difficulties for Chestnut. Popcorn causes chapped lips and bloating due to swallowing air, and Twinkies provide a "sugar headache."

"But if I do my prep right going in, I feel pretty good," he said confidently.

There is one more "oyster" though, made from an animal's — let's say body part — that is not on Chestnut's menu.

"There was a casino that wanted to do Rocky Mountain oysters. And their track record wasn't good on preparing them," Chestnut recalled.
