Joey Chestnut plots shock comeback as he announces massive news after bitter fallout with world-famous eating competition
Legendary professional eater Joey Chestnut is back competing in the sports' biggest event - the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. The Fourth of July tradition, which emanates every year from Brooklyn, New York, has welcomed arguably the best competitive eater ever back into the fold after a one-year ban. Chestnut's partnership with Impossible Foods was the reasoning for the 41-year-old's ban from the competition. Now, bridges have been mended as Chestnut announced his return to the Coney Island classic. 'I'm thrilled to be returning to the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest. This event means the world to me. It's a cherished tradition, a celebration of American culture, and a huge part of my life,' Chestnut said on X. '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. To be clear: Nathan's is the only hot dog company I've ever worked with.' 'I respect that there were differences in interpretation, but I'm grateful we've been able to find common ground. I'm excited to be back on the Coney Island stage, doing what I live to do, and celebrating the Fourth of July with hot dogs in my hands! Stay hungry!' Since 2007, Chestnut has won every Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest but two - last year's edition where he was not in the field and in 2015, where he was defeated by Matt Stonie. Chestnut's greatest rival is considered to be Takeru Kobayashi, despite the Japanese legend not competing in the event since 2010. The duo faced off for a final time on Netflix last year in a hot-dog eating competition, when Chestnut out-dogged Kobayashi 83-66. Last year's champion was Patrick Bertoletti, who ate 58 hot dogs in the 10 allotted minutes.

Joey Chestnut to return to the 2025 Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest
Champion eater Joey Chestnut is returning to the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest after being banned last year. 'This event means the world to me. It's a cherished tradition, a celebration of American culture, and a huge part of my life,' he said in an X post Monday. Chestnut had been a staple at the hot dog eating contest that takes place at Coney Island every Fourth of July. The Major League Eating organization, which oversees the eating contest, barred Chestnut from the event in 2024 after he struck a deal with plant-based food company Impossible Foods. 'We are devastated to learn that Joey Chestnut has chosen to represent a rival brand that sells plant-based hot dogs rather than competing in the 2024 Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest,' Major League Eating said in a statement in June 2024. But on Monday, Chestnut pledged his allegiance to Nathan's Famous, the restaurant chain that hosts the hot dog eating competition every year. '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,' Chestnut wrote. 'To be clear: Nathan's is the only hot dog company I've ever worked with.' Chestnut has won the 'Mustard Yellow Belt' 16 times, and once ate a world record 76 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes in 2021. He's currently ranked first in the world for competitive eating, according to Major League Eating. While Chestnut wasn't at Coney Island last July 4th, he did face off with his hot dog eating rival, Takeru Kobayashi, on Labor Day, in a Netflix special called 'Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef.' Similar to Chestnut, Kobayashi was banned from competing in the Nathan's competition due to a contract dispute in 2010. 'I'm excited to be back on the Coney Island stage, doing what I live to do, and celebrating the Fourth of July with hot dogs in my hands!' Chestnut said on X. 'Stay hungry!'
