Joey Chestnut has long dominated the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, claiming victory for 16 out of 17 years until facing complications last year due to sponsorship conflicts with Impossible Foods. Despite an impressive performance in other competitions, Nathan's has not agreed to Chestnut's return ahead of the upcoming contest, with less than six weeks until the Fourth of July. Chestnut expressed disappointment and confusion regarding the conflict with Nathan's, believing that his sponsorship should not pose an issue.
I would definitely consider it; I'd work with them to make sure there weren't any conflicts with other sponsors. ... But honestly, I don't think they want to go down that route. And yeah, it's a bummer. I love that contest.
I was really surprised they took offense to that. It was for Mondays, for people who might be interested in it.
