Joey Chestnut returning to Nathan's Famous July 4th hot dog eating contest
Briefly

Joey "Jaws" Chestnut is set to return to Coney Island for the Nathan's Famous July Fourth hot dog eating contest following a year off due to sponsorship conflicts. He did not compete last year due to a deal with Impossible Foods, which clashed with the event's requirements. Chestnut expressed his immense appreciation for the contest, labeling it a cherished tradition of American culture. Despite the conflict, Major League Eating acknowledged a reconciliation, allowing Chestnut to participate again.
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, those relationships were never a conflict with my love for hot dogs.
We think this is a powerful tribute to our armed forces and we wish Joey the best of luck at his event.
I respect that there were differences in interpretation, but I'm grateful we've been able to find common ground.
