2026 The Padrino Foods World Tamale Eating Championship Presented By Market Street

General Information

Contest – September 26, 2026

Discipline – Tamales/10 Minutes

The world’s greatest eaters will gather for ten relentless minutes with one mission: consume as many delicious Padrino Foods tamales as possible before the clock runs out.

Last year, Joey Chestnut delivered a performance for the ages, setting a breathtaking world record with an astonishing 96 tamales. Now that record stands as one of the sport’s most intimidating benchmarks. Will it withstand another year of hungry challengers, or will someone rewrite the history books once more? Along with championship glory, the winner will earn the honor of taking home the coveted handcrafted championship belt created by Odin Leatherworks in Old Town Lewisville—a prize as unique and hard-earned as the title itself!
