Like every other individual of his world, Matt has always loved to eat since his childhood but had never really thought about making it as a full-time career. He started off by participating in small competitions for free food and a T-shirt.
In an interview, he shared his journey of how he started his career?
"It started with a lobster-roll-eating contest five minutes away from my house with $1,000 dollars on the line. I thought, 'Why not, just give it a shot.' I showed up and there was a guy who was expected to win and I beat him by half a lobster roll and took home $1,000 cash. I ate 24 lobster rolls in total…"
One time during his high school, as a joke, he ate 62 hot dogs in a just matter of 10 minutes which somehow became his pa s sion later on.
He started taking his eating capacity seriously and thought of making it his professional career out of it. In 2015, he was able to beat the 8-times defending champion Joey Chestnut Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.
