The Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest is officially over and Joey Chestnut took another title. It was a bonkers competition, as Chestnut ran away with the victory.
According to Field Yates, Chestnut won his 15th title, making him the most winningest athlete of all time. Tom Brady and Michael Jordan can only wish they were as coveted as Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, as he has more hardware than any athlete in the world.
Chestnut finished the event downing 63 hot dogs. It was well below the expected 74 dogs many anticipated him to take down. However, the champ faced a ton of adversity on the stage on Monday. Not only was Joey Chestnut hobbled with a ruptured tendon in his right foot, but he also took down an idiotic fan in the middle of the competition.
You’ve never seen Tom Brady or Michael Jordan have to take down a fan in the middle of a competition before. Joey Chestnut is just built different, I guess. It was a whirlwind of pure electricity at the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. Although Chestnut underperformed in comparison to his past showings, he still ate 20 more hot dogs than the runner-up.
Look for him to continue this incredible reign of dominance, as we should see Chestnut return to the 4th of July’s big event next year as well. Hopefully, he won’t be dealing with an injury next time. Either way, it appears as though nothing can stop this man from continuing his long lasted reign.
