Dude can now only eat plant based hot dogs.

Joey Chestnut is an American hero

Get the fuck out of here. He eats fucking hot dogs and then throws them up afterwards. He is not a fucking hero.

I wasn't expecting to read "basic hot dog exclusivity provisions" in a sentence today.

So... Thanks for broadening my horizons, Alu.

Don't you have to not throw up in order for it to count?

All wieners matter.

All wieners matter.

Black wieners matter.

(I'm sorry for the way I am.)

They broil them for Nathan’s contest… or boil them in hotdog flavored water… either way, you ain’t getting no grill marks unless you slap that meat on the grill yourself.

hotdog flavored water

With a complimentary chocolate starfish?

Food-eating competitions in general just seem like such an American thing to me. I'm sure they exist elsewhere, but the fact there's an entire organization making this an actual sport is whacky. I can understand like, local fair "lol eat it gud" perhaps, but y'all be wildin' out.

I'm put money on the possibility that they do a bulimia thing, where after the contest is over, he pukes them all up. There is no other explanation for why the winners of these disgusting contests stay skinny.

that kid either lives a miserable life or the best life ever

there is no in-between

My favorite line:

Article:

Impossible Foods told ESPN that they support Chestnut "in any contest he chooses" and that "meat eaters shouldn't have to be exclusive to just one wiener."

Guess Matt Stonie wins the...mustard belt...this year.

It’s not a ban per se, but just because he is sponsored by a competitor or Nathan’s. If he dropped them as a sponsor, he would immediately be eligible to compete.

I wonder how much impossible is paying him for this

"In the past, people used to have competitions to see how many hot dogs they could eat within a time limit, and then vomit them up afterwards" sounds like something you would read in a Wikipedia article about Roman practices 2000 years ago and go "haha wow the past was weird"

Although, the concept of gorging on food is apparently popular elsewhere… according to some disgusting Facebook reels.

They... Didn't have hot dogs in Ancient Rome.

...Did they? Someone go check Pompeii.

Got some strong feelings about competitive hot-dog eating, huh, Jon?

I know how hot dogs are made. And I will never eat another one.

Something about watching a 5'8" Japanese superstar down hotdogs like that while the local fatty two seats over has downed only half the amount, looks ready to puke and watches Kobayashi throw down another.

 

[Jon]

THE MAN TOOK ON A FUCKING BEAR FOR CRISSAKES!

Also, Kobayashi vs Chestnut is coming to Netflix in an event called Unfinished Beef.

Chestnut will win, but I'm rooting for my guy Kobayashi.

It’s the discipline, dude. As racist as it sounds, they’re a much more disciplined culture than Kentuckians.

I think that was hilariously announced right after the ban. Absolutely, definitely, certainly, not planned for publicity.
