Fourth of July is here, which means Coney Island is set to host the 2019 Nathan’s Hot Dog Competition to see who can scarf down the most franks as we celebrate gluttony and freedom in the United States. Joey Chestnut is in search of his 12th mustard belt and his fourth consecutive title. Since 2007, Chestnut has only suffered defeat once on the big stage when Matt Stonie captured the title in 2015.
The record is held by Joey Chestnut, eating a whopping 74 hot dogs during the 2018 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. Chestnut has eaten at least 70 hot dogs in the previous three competitions.
Will Chestnut up the ante once again or will an underdog shock the world?
