Could be many things: Chest pain associated with eating could be one of many things: heartburn, gall bladder trouble, pancreatitis flare up, ulcer, reflux, esophagitis, the list goes on...... Go see your doctor or a GI specialist and let them do a full history and physical exam. Good luck.

Heartburn: Acid can reflux from your stomach up into your esophagus. This is more likely to happen if you are drinking caffeine, alcohol, or eating anything spicy, acidic, citrus. Smoking also contributes. If this happens when you are exercising or you feel short of breath or have heart palpitations, contact your doc right away. Other red flags: blood in bm, black bm or weight loss.
