CHESTNUT THE LEGEND!

 Joey Chestnut does it again! 


The professional eater just won the Nathan's hot dog eating contest for the 16th time. He ate 62 hotdogs.  Not his personal best of 76, but clearly this guy is an amazing dude that knows how to eat.

ESPN writes:

"Eating superstar Joey "Jaws" Chestnut shook off a rain delay and gobbled his way to another win at Nathan's Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest, downing 62 franks and buns in 10 minutes.

Chestnut out ate runner-up Geoffrey Esper and the rest of an international field of 15 competitive eaters by double digits to clinch his eighth straight Mustard Belt and 16th overall. Esper, of Oxford, Massachusetts, managed to ingest 49 hot dogs and buns."

By the way, don't think that I wasn't impressed by Esper. Geoffrey Esper is a competitor too. I've always been a Chestnut guy since the first time I saw he compete all the way back.  Now years later he appears to fall off a bit, but when asked if he could ever beat his record of 76, he did say today that he can.  And good for him.

Chestnut is a legend. No doubt about it.
