A true Man, a Mans Man, a Hero among Heroes!

"The roar of the crowd welcomed him. Joey Chestnut ATE 70.5 Nathan's Hot Dogs and Buns in 10 minutes. His 17th career title win. America is so back! President Donald Trump should have him over to the White House this week!" says Eugene Delgaudio, president of Public Advocate.
New York Post reports:

Competitive eating legend Joey Chestnut was once again crowned champion of Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in his triumphant return to the Fourth of July competition after skipping last year due to a sponsorship dispute with a vegan wiener brand.

Chestnut, 41, scarfed down an incredulous 70.5 hot dogs in front of a raucous crowd in Coney Island on Friday and reclaimed the Mustard Belt for a record 17th time. The feat was close but not close enough to beat his own record of 76 franks he set at the competition in 2021.

"Man, I wish I didn't need a couple more. I'm sorry guys," Chestnut said after the scarf-fest. "My goal was 70-77 - I really wanted a little bit more.".......................

Chestnut made his eagerly-awaited return after he was bounced from the contest in 2024 over his deal with Impossible Foods, which had recently launched a plant-based hot dog.

The Indiana native's wild fans - many donning hot dog hats - roared for 10 minutes straight as Chestnut shoveled scores of glizzies into his mouth in his typical fashion: two hot dogs at a time, followed by two buns.

Patrick Bertoletti, who was able to dominate last July 4 with Chestnut absent, didn't even come close Friday with 46.5 hot dogs and buns consumed.
