Joey Chestnut to return to Nathan's iconic hot dog eating contest after 2024 ban
Briefly

Joey Chestnut is returning to the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island after being banned last year due to a dispute over competitive endorsements. Having won 16 championships, Chestnut expressed relief at his return and confirmed a new three-year deal endorsing Nathan's hot dogs. His previous ban came following an endorsement with Impossible Foods. As preparations start, Chestnut aims to break his own record of 76 hot dogs consumed in 10 minutes. With his return, excitement builds for an anticipated competitive event.
"It almost doesn't feel real yet. I was preparing for the worst, but we were able to work it out."
"We're very excited to have Joey back and we believe this is going to be the best contest ever."
"It'd be great to make a new record. If I can get close to 80, that'd be amazing."
