Las Vegas, NV -- It may be one of the Seven Deadly Sins, but gluttony is the path to glory for some people.

Super-eater Joey Chestnut won the first-ever Martorano's Masters Meatball Eating Championship Sunday in Las Vegas.

He scarfed down 50 meatballs in 10 minutes -- and won 15 hundred dollars.

Chestnut is best known for beating six-time champ Takeru "Tsunami" Kobayashi in the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.
