Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest: Who Won the Annual Fourth of July Binge-a-thon? (Watch Video)

The 26-year-old Chicagoan took the men’s title at Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest Thursday, eating 58 hot dogs in 10 minutes.

“We are devastated to learn that Joey Chestnut has chosen to represent a rival brand that sells plant-based hot dogs rather than competing in the 2024 Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest,” a spokesperson for Major League Eating previously told TVLine.

However, it seems that Joey and his managers have prioritized a new partnership with a different hot dog brand over our long-time relationship.”
