Happy 4th of July! Kobayashi beat Again :(

Joey Chestnut defeated Japan's Takeru Kobayashi for the second year in a row in the Annual Nathan's Hot Dog Competition!

Congrats to Chestnut!

The two hot dog champs tied (each finished 58 dogs in 10 minutes) and had to go into overtime. In overtime, Chestnut ate 5 hot dogs down before Kobayashi.

They set a new record for most hot dogs eaten in ten minutes though- Congrats to both!!

Takeru Kobayashi is Defeated in Nathan's Hot Dog Contest!

The new reigning champion is American, Joey Chestnut, who ate 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes
(one every 10.9 seconds) at the famed Nathan's hot dog eating contest in Coney Island.

Kobayashi, the 6 time champion, may have suffered a set back due to a recent wisdom tooth extraction and a sore jaw.

Kobayshi did perform his best ever in the competition- eating 63 hot dogs, no small feat.

This sadly ends Kobayashi's reign as the champion Hot Dog eater.

Good Luck to him next year!
