Chestnut wins 3rd Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest in a row. Gotta keep that mustard belt here in America on our special day!!

I just attempted to eat a whole large Domino's pizza in honor of his victory, I failed, but I still enjoyed myself

Honestly what makes people want to do this kinda thing? It's impressive (and slightly disgusting) to watch, but you can't tell me its enjoyable to eat that much?

I don't see how it's physically possible to eat that much.

Whats disgusting is watching them dip the hot dogs in tepid water. They said Kobeyashi had his water at 118 degrees

Nice to see Joey keep it stateside again!

thata boy joey how many did he eat? Who took second?

Kobiyashi, of course! Lost by at least 2 whole dogs.

So how long before a scandal breaks about one of these guys surgically altering their body to allow them to eat more?

With all the fanfare of this as well as other eating events, it’s just a matter of time I think.

He got 68

what was his record he did the other year?

His old record was 66. Have you actually seen how these guys "train" to eat like this? There was a documentary on a while back that had Kobayashi, EaterX, and a few others. They eat some pretty ridiculous amounts of food before these contests. Kobayashi actually tried to out-eat a bear, but ended up losing.

yea that was on MTV a long time ago, kobayashi is ripped to just muscle

It's insane, discusting to watch and I loved every minute of it. Like a train wreck that you can't look away from. I have no idea how you can get that much food inside you at all.

They definitely don't have "lapbands"

The interview after is just gross. They all look like they are about to puke on their shoes.
