Top Dog


All eyes will be on Joey Chestnut at Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, N.Y.

Chestnut is aiming to break his own world record of eating 59.5 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes.

This year's event took on a new twist after Takeru Kobayashi, 29, the world's most famous speed eater and six-time Nathan's contest champion, reported that a jaw injury would prevent him from competing at full chomp. Some openly wondered whether Kobayashi was playing possum to lull the up-and-coming Chestnut into a false sense of security.

More, more, more...
