Joey Chestnut wins Coney Island Hot-Dog Eating Contest, breaks own world record Josephine Stratman, Ellen Wulfhorst
Reigning hot dog-eating champion Joey Chestnut held onto his title on Sunday amid the cheers of voracious fans hungry for the return of the annual competition on Coney Island.
The champ gobbled down 76 hot dogs in 10 minutes, topping by one wiener his own world record set last year, to win the annual Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog-Eating Contest. It was Chestnut’s 14th victory in 15 years.
“I feel like I could eat a little more,” the seemingly insatiable Chestnut, 37, said afterward, although he admitted feeling “a little bloated.”
