Joey Chestnut announced his return to the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest next month after missing the event in 2024 due to sponsorship complexities. He holds the record for most hot dogs eaten at 76 in 2021. Chestnut noted that despite his partnerships, especially with Impossible Foods, they never conflicted with his love for Nathan's hot dogs. He expressed excitement about participating again, emphasizing the contest's significance as a cherished American tradition. Last year, he also set a separate record by consuming 83 hot dogs in a special event, showcasing his competitive eating prowess.
"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... a celebration of American culture, and a huge part of my life."
"Those relationships were never a conflict with my love for hot dogs. To be clear: Nathan's is the only hot dog company I've ever worked with."
"I'm grateful we've been able to find common ground. I'm excited to be back on the Coney Island stage, doing what I live to do!"
"Last year, Chestnut ate 83 hot dogs in a Netflix special event... It was the most hot dogs ever eaten... without being dunked in water."
