Joey Chestnut, a legendary competitive eater, is set to return to the Nathan's Famous July Fourth hot dog eating contest after a year away due to a sponsorship conflict with Impossible Foods. Chestnut expressed the significance of the contest to him and confirmed he has never worked with another hot dog brand apart from Nathan's. Despite missing the event in 2024, he competed at a military charity event in Texas. The organizers emphasize their support for him, indicating a resolution to previous sponsorship issues, allowing his return.
"This event means the world to me. It's a cherished tradition, a celebration of American culture, and a huge part of my life."
"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."
