Joey "Jaws" Chestnut will compete in the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest after missing last year due to contract disputes. This will be his 20th appearance in the event he cherishes as a vital part of his life and American tradition. Chestnut clarified his relationship with Impossible Foods, ensuring fans he has not endorsed their products. Major League Eating's president expressed satisfaction with the resolution of past issues, marking Chestnut's return as a significant event in competitive eating history.
This event means the world to me,” Chestnut, 41, said in a message posted on X. “It's a cherished tradition, a celebration of American culture, and a huge part of my life.
There was a little bit of communication that we could have improved on last year,” he said. “And I, yeah, I think we figured it out. It took a little bit of finessing.
I think it's the return of the greatest competitive eater of all time to the biggest competitive eating event of all time.
Chestnut is still working with Impossible Foods and said 'clarifications' have been made to his respective contracts.
