Joey Chestnut responded to the shocking news that he had been barred from this year’s Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, aiming to ‘set the record straight’
Competitive eating icon Joey Chestnut has responded to being barred from his sport’s most iconic stage.
Chestnut has allegedly signed a deal with Impossible Foods, the makers of plant-based meat alternatives, including hot dogs. “I love competing in that event,” Chestnut wrote, “I love celebrating America with my fans all over this great country on the 4th and I have been training to defend my title.” George Shea, the notorious longtime host of the hot dog eating contest, called the situation involving Chestnut “a gut punch.”
