Joey Chestnut Favored To Retain Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest Title

When you think of the Fourth of July, you think of fireworks, barbecues and gathering with friends.

And the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, of course.

Joey Chestnut is the front-runner to win the event again, with Bovada listing him as the 1/12 favorite to retain his title for the eighth consecutive year. Chestnut won last year’s contest by eating a record-breaking 69 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
