Joey "Jaws" Chestnut is set to return to Coney Island for the Nathan's Famous July Fourth hot dog eating contest, having missed last year due to a sponsorship deal with Impossible Foods that conflicted with the event. Chestnut expressed his excitement on social media, stating the contest is an integral part of his life and American culture. Although he did not participate in 2023, Chestnut honored military families at a separate contest in Texas. Major League Eating and Chestnut have resolved sponsorship issues, allowing his comeback to the iconic contest.
"This event means the world to me. It's a cherished tradition, a celebration of American culture, and a huge part of my life."
"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."
