Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest (Official Thread)

f Dr. Smoliga’s prediction of 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes seems like a stretch, consider this: In Dr. Metz’s 2007 study, the speed eater had downed 36 hot dogs before the researchers terminated the simulated contest, worried that he might perforate his stomach. Thirteen years later, Mr. Chestnut ate more than two times as many hot dogs, which suggests that we probably won’t know the actual human limit until we reach it.

So it's kind of like the 4 minute mile or the 200 man gangbang.

First Roger Bannister, then Savannah and now Joey Chestnut joins that elite company.

Joey Chestnut is massive favorite to win Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog-Eating Contest

Joey Chestnut is relishing his chance at winning his 14th mustard belt and breaking his own record at Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog-Eating Contest on Sunday.

Chestnut is way more than a foot-long favorite to win his sixth straight title. He opened as a -5,000 favorite over the field at DraftKings and was sitting at -3,000 on Saturday at Caesars Sportsbook by William Hill in New Jersey. That means you'd need to risk $3,000 for a chance to win $100 on the man known as "Jaws."

Chestnut's overwhelming odds put him in impressive company. The U.S. women's national soccer team was a -5,000 favorite over Thailand in the 2019 World Cup. The U.S. won 13-0. The Kansas City Chiefs were -5,000 favorites over the New York Jets last season. Kansas City won 35-9.

Chowdown champ Joey "Jaws" Chestnut broke his own record to gulp to a 14th win in the men's Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest on Sunday, while Michelle Lesco took the women's title.

Chestnut downed 76 franks and buns in 10 minutes. That's one more than he did in setting the men's record last year, when the contest unfolded indoors and without fans because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Joey Chestnut stopped in the middle of the hot dog eating contest to choke out a protester

Here’s something you don’t see every 4th.



A man dressed like Darth Vader rushed the stage at Chestnut’s 17th dog with a sign reading “EXPOSE SMITHFIELD DEATHSTAR,” which appears to be an animal rights issue in Utah. Regardless of the meaning behind the protest, it didn’t sit well with Chestnut, who didn’t know what was going on outside of a stranger bumping into him mid contest — so he choked Vader, before security dragged the man off the stage.

Joey went on to win easily by devouring 66 hot dogs and buns, but we will probably never ever see a mid-contest fight again, especially one involving the greatest eater of all time.

Joey Chestnut favored to win 8th straight Mustard Belt​

Joey Chestnut, the hot dog-and-bun-eating GOAT, is the overwhelming favorite to win his 16th Mustard Belt overall and eighth in row Tuesday at the Nathan's Hot Dog Contest in Coney Island, Brooklyn.

Caesars Sportsbook on Monday had Chestnut listed as a -3,000 odds-on favorite to down the most hot dogs and buns during the messiest 10 minutes in sports. Every other contestant is listed at +1,400 (14-1) or longer. The over/under on the number of hot dogs and buns eaten by Chestnut is 72.5 at some sportsbooks.

Chestnut is such a big favorite at a few sportsbooks that bettors must risk $4,000 on him to win a net $100. On Monday, DraftKings reported taking a $2,000 bet on Chestnut that would win a net $50 if he is victorious again. An upset, however, would cost the bettor the two grand.

:lol:
