A person holds a sign saying ‘Let Joey Eat’ at Nathan’s Annual Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4, 2024 in New York City. Sixteen-time winner Joey Chestnut is banned from this year’s contest due to his partnership with Nathan’s competitor Impossible Foods, which sells plant-based hot dogs.
Ahead of the event, Chestnut expressed fear that he might not perform well without the support of the large and raucous Coney Island crowd. But afterward he said he had hit a “record-setting pace.” Today’s contest isn’t the only hot dog-eating event that Chestnut will participate in this year. In September, he will competein an event to be broadcast live on Netflix. “The event – promoted as “CHESTNUT VS. KOBAYASHI: UNFINISHED BEEF” – will air live on the streaming platform on Labor Day, Sept. 2,” according to a report by this news organization.
