JOEY CHESTNUT BANNED FROM FAMOUS HOT DOG EATING COMPETITION

As American as Mom, baseball, and apple pie is the world of competitive eating. While it is a worldwide competition many associate it with America’s obsession with overeating and being somewhat unhealthy compared to other countries. It doesn’t hurt that the number one competitive eater in the world is from America. Joey Chestnut has become a household name when it comes to eating more food at one sitting than anyone else can comprehend. He is the Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, and Wayne Gretzky of the competitive eating world all rolled into one guy. Apparently, he’s not big enough to just do endorsements for anyone. He has been endorsing impossible hot dogs, you know plant based food. Well, Nathan’s Hot Dogs says you can only endorse THEIR hot dogs if you want to compete on giant stage on the 4th of July. He found out about it through the media and is obviously disappointed.

(1/3)I was gutted to learn from the media that after 19 years Im banned from the Nathan's July 4th Hot Dog Eating Contest. I love competing in that event, I love celebrating America with my fans all over this great country on the 4th and I have been training to defend my title.
