In case you missed it, the Sports Eating World went through a major milestone on July 4th when American Joey Chestnut defeated Japanese Takeru Kobayashi, finally ending the Japanese superstar’s eating winning spree at Nathan’s Hotdogs. Before Chestnut stepped up to the plate, Kobayashi had tallied six straight victories at Nathan’s, vanquishing one American foe after another. Not so this year! Chestnut devoured 66 hotdogs to Kobayashi’s 63 to take the title. Meanwhile, female eater Sonya Thomas came in 5th with 39. So Joey Chestnut, on behalf of Americans everywhere, thanks for finally winning Nathan’s hotdog eating contest! And as your reward, here’s your lifetime eating disorder and many, many trips to the bathroom. Damn! Them’s a lot of hotdogs, kid!
