CONEY ISLAND — San Jose resident and record-breaking competitive eater Joey Chestnut has done it again — eating 71 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes Thursday to retain his title as champion of the Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest. It was his 12th title overall.
Chestnut fell short of his world record last year of 74 hot dogs. He was aiming for a new record, having consumed 75 hot dogs in a practice round.
But he handily beat the runner-up, Darron Breedon, who wolfed down 50 frankfurters.

It’s good that people are free to do that if they want.
Seems really dumb to me, though.

Nausea-inducing to watch them dip the dogs and buns in water to wolf them down.

I cheer on whatever ticks off the left and that includes Joey Chestnut.

“Competitive eater” why was this never mentioned at career days when I was in school? Other positions I didn’t know about until it was too late to steer my career towards: whiskey taster, and the guy that sprays just a hint of water on swimsuit models during photo shoots....

These things are PR stunts that work to get massive free media coverage. The contestants are offered some substantial prizes, enough to live on if they win enough of these in a year. That’s why they do it. This Joey Chestnut doesn’t just win this contest all the time, he wins contests all over the country. $$$
