Joey Chestnut reclaims title at Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest

NYP:
He’s top dog again.

Competitive eating legend Joey Chestnut was once again crowned champion of Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest in his triumphant return to the Fourth of July competition after skipping last year due to a sponsorship dispute with a vegan wiener brand.

Chestnut, 41, scarfed down an incredulous 70.5 hot dogs in front of a raucous crowd in Coney Island on Friday and reclaimed the Mustard Belt for a record 17th time. The feat was close but not close enough to beat his own record of 76 franks he set at the competition in 2021. more

  2. DO THEY TRAIN ALL YEAR FOR THIS BULLSHIT??

    NOT SURE WHETHER TO CHEER OR PUKE

    MICHAEL MOORE, WHY AREN’T YOU PLAYING?? YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DOWN 100 AND SAVE ROOM FOR COBBLER AND A FEW BAGS OF SKITTLES, RIGHT??

  3. So I was at the gym today while this was on. Every TV set is tuned to ESPN. And ESPN covered this for an hour. Are you kidding me? Like this is a legit sport? Let me get this strait, the guy that can shove as many cylindrical shaped objects down his throat the fastest wins. OK. I’m out. Maybe Joey should claim he’s a tranni so he can win the womens division too.

  4. I hope they have a fresh unused Port-A-Potty ready for him to use. They do not want him anywhere a regular toilet and sewer system for the massive discharge that is about to ensue.

  5. Every timer I see one of these “competitions” I’m reminded of the story in Stand by Me with Lard Ass and the pie eating.
    Written by S. King and directed by Rob Reiner, almost makes me ashamed I liked it.

  6. It was a good scene in Cool Hand Luke, but other than that I don’t find these type of thing interesting or entertaining.

    They are pretty gross. Kind of like when ant Costco and slobs fold slices of pizza in half and cram them into their poe hole. Pretty disgusting.

  7. I saw that on the TVs at a restaurant last Saturday (last year’s or was it repeated?). Two things: one, it was not really an appetizing thing to see when you are eating dinner. Second, I got a chuckle out of the fact that the TV coverage was sponsored by Pepsid.
