Joey Chestnut returned to Coney Island on July 4th and won the Mustard Belt by eating 70.5 hot dogs in ten minutes. Despite not breaking his record of 76 hot dogs from 2021, Chestnut dominated the competition, finishing 24 hot dogs ahead of second-place finisher Patrick Bertoletti. After a year off due to sponsorship issues with Impossible Foods, he showcased his competitive spirit. The crowd enthusiastically cheered for him as he expressed his intent to return next year, while legendary announcer George Shea praised him dramatically.
"I wish I ate a couple more. Sorry guys, I'll be back next year."
"We are humbled by age in preparation for the great insult of death. But there are those who stand immortal. Not through the grace of heaven, but through their own triumphs. I speak of this man!"
