Joey Chestnut is holding out hope he and Major League Eating can come to an agreement so he can participate in next month's hot dog eating contest.
As it stands, Joey Chestnut is not permitted to compete in the 2024 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. The 16-time winner of the event recently signed a brand partnership with Impossible Foods, a rival of Nathan's. Major League Eating ruled he may not compete due to that deal. While attending Thursday's Indiana Fever-Atlanta Dream WNBA contest, Chestnut said he had 'no regrets,' saying it was 'unfortunate' how 'contract negotiations became public.
The 40-year-old, widely regarded as the GOAT in his sport, has won the contest every year but one since 2007. He was upset by Matt Stonie in the 2015 competition but has since rattled off eight straight victories.
