Despite counting error, Chestnut breaks record at Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest
Hot dog!
It was another record-setting Fourth of July in Coney Island at Nathan’s Annual International Hot Dog-Eating Contest.
Thousands of attendees witnessed Joey Chestnut claim victory once again, taking home his 11th championship, and breaking a world record by stuffing 74 hot dogs down his gullet in just 10 minutes, besting his previous record by just a single hot dog.
