Joey Chestnut, a 15-time winner of the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, will compete in this year’s event with a ruptured tendon in his leg
Joey Chestnut is likely the greatest competitive eater in history, but he’ll have a bit of a challenge when he takes the stage on Coney Island on Monday.
Chestnut, a 15-time winner of the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, will compete in this year’s event with a ruptured tendon in his leg. Chestnut arrived to the event’s official weigh-in on crutches Friday, though he insists the injury won’t impact his performance. “I’m gonna eat like a madman,” Chestnut told Fox News Digital. “It’s all right. I’ll be able to stand up and eat. I’m excited.”
Chestnut could break his own record during Monday’s event. He currently holds the world record for hot dogs consumed in 10 minutes after downing 76 hot dogs last year.
