Of course we won’t be forgetting about one of the patron saints of competitive eating and the longtime face of the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, one Mr. Joey Chestnut. The 16-time reigning champ is banned this year due to his endorsement deal with Impossible Foods, the maker of plant-based meat alternatives (like hot dogs). Read the full story on Chestnut’s ban here.
But just like birds know when it’s time to fly south for the winter, Chestnut’s soul cries out for him to eat a truly alarming amount of hot dogs on Independence Day. He’ll be holding his own contest in Fort Bliss, Texas, where he’ll be competing against soldiers to see who can eat the most dogs and buns in five minutes (half the time of the Nathan’s contest).
That will be live streamed on Chestnut’s YouTube channel at 5:00 p.m. ET, and you’ll be able to catch the blow-by-blow on this live blog later today.
