2009 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Championship
Joey Chestnut successfully defended his two time hot dog eating championship this afternoon at the 94th annual competition, defeating former six time champion Takeru Kobayashi by downing a record 68 hot dogs in ten minutes to his rival’s 64 and a half(both eclipsing the world record of 59).
The win kept the coveted Mustard belt in the United States.
Here’s a clip on the champ.
