Joey Chestnut, a legendary figure in competitive eating, missed the Nathan's Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest last year due to a sponsorship conflict. However, discussions are underway for his return, which could revamp the event that recently experienced its lowest ratings in a decade. Chestnut remains an eating powerhouse, continuing to break records even in his 40s. His participation is anticipated to enhance the contest’s energy and draw a larger audience, making it a staple summer event once again.
Last year, something felt off in Coney Island. The energy wasn't quite the same - and there was a good reason for it.
According to a report from TMZ Sports, Major League Eating (MLE) and Chestnut are in talks to bring him back to the competition.
Last year's edition of the contest seeing its lowest ratings in a decade, it's time for Chestnut to rejoin what is a tradition for many.
Chestnut continues to dominate... he broke his own popcorn-eating world record by consuming 32 24-ounce bags in eight minutes.
