Chestnut had an equally impressive win as well — nearly lapping his opponent Nick Wehry. Almost finishing his second and final bowl of baked beans before Wehry finished his first. Chestnut nearly broke two minutes, as Oji, but left one more bean in the bowl before finishing and coming in at 2:03.
Chestnut and Oji will meet tonight in the Finals, with the winner becoming the #BetOnlineEats Quarantine Challenge champion. The Final will consist of ramen noodles — 10 individual ramen noodles cups.
