Other than Kobayashi, we need Matt Stonie back to make this half way competitive, and Badlands Booker that much more entertaining.

Joey Chestnut, the 16-time champion of the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, will not compete in the annual Fourth of July event next month, Major League Eating announced Tuesday.

A spokesperson for Major League Eating (MLE) told ESPN that Chestnut had chosen to "represent another hot dog brand" and therefore would not be allowed to participate in the Nathan's contest, which is held annually at New York City's Coney Island.


Chestnut, competitive eating's biggest star who has won the event eight years in a row, reportedly agreed to a sponsorship deal with Impossible Foods, a company that makes plant-based hot dogs, and a competing company to Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs.

From a betting perspective, it's gotten more interesting.

There's a beef about the beef.

Jaws would give Kobe 4-1 and still crush him by at least 10 dogs.

[winkyduck]

no way this will be within a bun

No way this will be within a bun.............meaning Joey will easily win

OR

No way, this will be within a bun...........meaning Joey wins in a very narrow margin?

 

[trytrytry]

They can always jazz it up and invite the winner of the July 4th contest. he wont owe them any loyalty.

Chestnut devours 57 hot dogs in an El Paso exhibition, and takes him half the time. Don't get why his performance declined over the last few years in Coney Island other than an injury. Way to lose that payday.

 

[jimmythegreek]

I know he signed a deal with a competing hot dog company, but this takes nothing away from Bertoletti's performance. In fact, if Chestnut wasn't 100% and instead happened to compete at Nathan's yesterday, Bertoletti's might've given him a run for his money.

Yesterday's contest was fun! For the 1st time in a long time it was competitive. The introductions of the eaters was legendary.
