Joey Chestnut reclaimed the Mustard Belt for a 17th time at Nathan's Annual Hot Dog Eating Contest on the Fourth of July.
He missed last year's competition due to a conflict of interest over a sponsorship with a vegan hot dog brand.
Joey scarfed down a total of 70-and-a-half hot dogs in 10 minutes. He didn't beat his own personal record though, which he set in 2021 with 76.
Quote, "Man, I wish I didn't need a couple more. I'm sorry guys. My goal was 70 to 77, I really wanted a little bit more. I know it's going to keep getting harder and harder to break records, I'll figure it out."
Joey still won by a landslide though. The second-place winner, who dominated last year in Joey's absence, only managed to eat 46-and-a-half hot dogs.
