Joey Chestnut Retains The Mustard Belt

by Earl Morningstarr

As crowds of supporters cheered him on Joey Chestnut held his title of World Champion Hot Dog Eater at yesterday’s Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island. Chestnut beat off stiff competition from his arch rival Takeru Kobayashi of Japan.

In a spectacular contest Kobayashi managed to beat the former world record set by Chestnut last year by eating 64.5 wieners in ten minutes, but Chestnut smashed his own record to set a brand new one of a staggering 68 sausages and buns in the set time limit.

Proud Americans saw their home grown champion defeat the Japanese contender for the third consecutive year. Kobayashi is a former six times title holder at the competition, but it seems his glory days are over as 24 year old Chestnut from California is proving unstoppable in this event.
