Joey "Jaws" Chestnut, a dominant force in competitive eating, recently confirmed his participation in the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest after being banned last year for collaborating with Impossible Foods. Despite his ties to plant-based companies, he maintains that Nathan's is his sole hot dog partner, expressing his unwavering passion for traditional hot dogs. Chestnut previously set a record in a 2024 livestream after he was excluded from the contest, solidifying his reputation as the top competitive eater, having won Nathan's championship 16 times since 2007.
"While I have and continue to partner with a variety of companies, including some in the plant-based space, those relationships were never a conflict with my love for hot dogs."
"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."
