Netflix announced it will stream a live hot dog eating contest between Joey Chestnut, who was banned from the July 4 event on Coney Island, and Takeru Kobayashi
The world's two most famous competitive eaters of the 21st century, if not of all-time, will not be facing off at the competition that made them famous. Neither Takeru Kobayashi, who announced his retirement in May, nor Joey Chestnut, who was banned from the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, will compete on Coney Island this July 4.
Sept. 2. The live faceoff will feature the two most decorated eaters in the history of the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.The timing of the announcement suggests a cleverly orchestrated bit of attention around Chestnut's banishment from the July 4 competition. His name was scarcely in the news before the ban was announced Tuesday by Major League Eating, the event's governing body.
