International Federation of Competitive Eating - Mustard Yellow Belt

Mustard Yellow Belt

The Mustard Yellow Belt is the organization's signature championship belt. The belt was rediscovered by IFOCE member Mike DeVito in 1993 after being lost for more than two decades in Japan. DeVito received the belt after winning an eating match against Japan's Orio Ito. The belt was restored by the Shea brothers and is now renowned in the competitive eating world. It was previously held by Takeru Kobayashi from 2001 to 2007 but as of 2012 is held by Joey Chestnut.
