Joey Chestnut, the dominant champion of the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, is set to return for the July 4 event in 2024 after overcoming sponsorship conflicts with Impossible Foods. Although Chestnut did not participate last year, he emphasized the importance of the contest to him personally and culturally. His commitment to Nathan's Famous remains strong, as he navigates partnerships with plant-based companies, clarifying that these relationships don’t conflict with his passion for hot dogs. His return promises to energize this beloved American tradition.
"I'm thrilled to be returning to the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating 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."
