Joey Chestnut, a dominant figure in competitive eating, could make a comeback at the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest this Fourth of July. After being barred from last year's event due to a contract dispute with another hot dog brand, talks have resumed between Major League Eating and Chestnut to finalize his participation. The fallout from his absence was significant, with rival Patrick Bertoletti winning in 2023. City officials even intervened, urging for Chestnut's return, highlighting his importance in the competitive eating landscape.
Joey Chestnut's absence last year led to Patrick Bertoletti winning the Mustard Belt, ending Chestnut’s streak since 2015. Discussions might bring him back this summer.
Major League Eating and Joey Chestnut are reportedly negotiating for his return to the Fourth of July hot dog eating contest, resolving past sponsorship issues.
