Joey Chestnut will battle rival competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi in a Netflix hot dog eating contest which will stream live over Labor Day weekend
On Wednesday, June 12, Netflix announced that Chestnut will face off against rival competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi in a hot dog battle to stream live over Labor Day weekend,” the streaming service shared in a press release.
“Through all of my years in competitive eating, Kobayashi stands out as my fiercest rival,” Chestnut, 40, said in a statement. “Competing against him pushed me to be so much better. I know that fans have waited a long time for another chapter of our rivalry and I can’t wait for our massive showdown live on Netflix! It’s time to give the people what they want!”“Retiring for me will only happen after I take him down one last time,” he stated. “This rivalry has been brewing for a long time.
“We are devastated to learn that Joey Chestnut has chosen to represent a rival brand that sells plant-based hot dogs rather than competing in the 2024 Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest,” Major League Eating said in a statement to Us Weekly on Tuesday, June 11. “To set the record straight, I do not have a contract with MLE or Nathan’s and they are looking to change the rules from past years as it relates to other partners I can work with,” Chestnut wrote via Instagram on Tuesday evening. “This is apparently the basis on which I’m being banned, and it doesn’t impact the July 4th contest.”
