Full title - Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest odds: Betting favorite Chestnut looks to continue dominance
Bring back Kobayashi!
Men’s Division begins at 12 Noon.
You can’t watch it on ESPN2
He is the Japanese guy who won the contest one year right? Didnt he beat Chestnut?
Who owns Nathan this year ? I saw them being delivered by a Smithfield truck. So is this just another Chinese run, former US business now ?
Thats my memory too. I was thinking that Kobayashi won a year when JC was injured and limited.
This is an annual rite of Americana I share watching with my 31 year old son.
How about Matt Stonie?
Miki Sudo won the women’s division by eating 37 in 10 minutes!
Utterly depraved
Tried to find some info. Nothing popped up. Maybe it was just a delivery truck.
Yet VERY American!
There is serious risk of choking and stomach perforation. In the days and weeks before an event the eaters drink gallons of water per day to stretch out their stomach, they also aim to have their stomach empty into the small intestine during the event. Some people jump 20 school buses, others eat 70 hotdogs in 10 minutes.
No, eating contests are utterly depraved. And in most faiths, literally a sin.

And some of us like watching someone eat 70 hot dogs AND
someone taking a motorcycle and jumping over 15 trucks.
We must enjoy Chestnut while he still in his prime. Like in all sports, time is undefeated and soon the stomach will lose its youthful flexibility. But just like Arnold Palmer in golf, the stature of Chestnut may one day aid in the establishment of a senior tour of eating.
“Some people jump 20 school buses, others eat 70 hotdogs in 10 minutes.”
The first is just crazy. The second is sick and depraved.
I was shocked the year that relatively small guy hit 50 hot dogs.
Not quite as shocked as the big guys competing against him, though.
The dawgs they wolf down by the hundreds must be Grade triple Z rejects that never made it to the store shelf.
Watched one of those vids & decided the next I have a Hebrew National frank with chopped onion (the very best but soooo expensive) I’m going to start the clock & set a record for the world’s slowest hot dog eating contest. No other way to enjoy a high quality all beef dawg.
