Competitive eating champion Joey Chestnut is enthused about the opportunity to take part in another hot dog eating competition after being excluded from this year’s Nathan’s faceoff.
It looks like Joey Chestnut is going to have a “full” day ahead of him this July Fourth despite being excluded from the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest at Coney Island.
Instead, the competitive eater – who downed a record-setting 76 hot dogs in 10 minutes during the 2021 event – is heading to an Army base in El Paso, Texas, to square off in a different hot dog eating contest: against soldiers.
“It means so much [to be with them]”, he said while joining “Fox & Friends” on Independence Day.
The champ told Lawrence Jones, Joey Jones and Kayleigh McEnany that he is honored to be around those who are putting service before self.
