Joey Chestnut Put A Protester In A Chokehold And Still Won Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest
If there’s one thing competitive eater Joey Chestnut is gonna do on the Fourth of July, it’s shove a bunch of wieners down his gullet faster than anybody else. And that’s exactly what he did yesterday at the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. Joey won the competition for the 15th time, devouring 63 hot dogs in just 10 minutes. Unfortunately for the 38-year-old Joey, that’s actually 13 hot dogs less than his all-time record of 76, which he set last year. Is our wiener-guzzler past his peak? Or was his performance affected by the protestor he put in a chokehold? Oh, did I forget to mention the protestor he put in a chokehold?
Fourth Of July Open Post: Hosted By Joey Chestnut Beating His Hot-Dog-Eating Record Again
If you’re like me, then you watched the 2021 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest live on ESPN (we all deserve to be judged for that). If you did, you probably screamed over the American tragedy of ESPN’s feed messing up just as the wiener gobbler of all wiener gobblers, Joey Chestnut, shoved his 76th water-soaked hot dog into his legendary eating hole to beat the record he set last year. Honestly, I don’t know if it was a Fourth of July gift or a Fourth of July curse to not see Joey Chestnut keep the hot dog vom from coming up his throat by shoving another hot dog in there. Probably the former. But Joey Chestnut’s reign as the King of Wiener Swallowing (yes, I’m jealous of him for having that title) continues since he won Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest for the 14th time.
