Bowling Green man eats 43 slices of pumpkin pie in contest

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.-How many pieces of pumpkin pie could you eat? Local man Bartley Weaver can eat 43 slices, aka 10.75 lbs. in just eight minutes….

Weaver just finished fourth in the country in the 2022 World Pumpkin Pie Eating Contest in Ohio. 

He said last year he ate 37 slices, or 9.25 lbs., so he was determined to eat more than that this year. 

Earlier this year he also competed against Joey Chestnut in Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest. 

News 40 asked him if he won’t be able to eat pumpkin pie ever again, but he said it’s actually just the opposite! 

“You won’t believe this. So I handed my girlfriend’s parents two plates of pie that were left over on the table for them to enjoy. Well I’m staying here at their house and it’s been sitting on the oven every day, so every day I sneak in there and I get a couple slices,” said Weaver. 

In addition to the hot dog and pie eating contest he also did a brat eating contest…eating 60 in ten minutes. He said the pie contest will be his last one for this year.
