Joey Chestnut will compete in the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4, returning after missing the previous year due to a contract dispute with Nathan's over his sponsorship with Impossible Foods. Despite previously not being allowed to participate, Chestnut has settled the issues and expressed excitement about competing again, having dominated the event for nearly two decades. He has won 16 of the last 17 contests and is gearing up to reclaim his title, highlighting the importance of Nathan's Hot Dogs in his career.
I'm excited to be back on the Coney Island stage, doing what I live to do, and celebrating the Fourth of July with hot dogs in my hands!" Chestnut expressed his enthusiasm about returning to the competition after a year away due to contract disputes.
While I have and continue to partner with a variety of companies, including some in the plant-based space, those relationships were never a conflict with my love for hot dogs. To be clear: Nathan's is the only hot dog company I've ever worked with," Chestnut clarified the nature of his sponsorship while affirming his commitment to Nathan's.
