The 2008 contest was a real battle.
They reduced the time from 12 minutes to 10.
Chestnut and Kobayashi both had 59 hot dogs, and a tie was determined by the judges, with the two going to a "dog-off" for the first time ever.
The fastest to stuff 5 hot dogs into his face would be the winner, and Chestnut got it done.

American keeps hot dog-eating crown in overtime
NEW YORK (CNN) -- World-record holder and defending champion Joey "Jaws" Chestnut held on to his hot dog-eating title Friday in an unprecedented tie-breaker at Nathan's Famous Fourth of July contest.
Chestnut, of San Jose, California, beat rival Takeru "The Tsunami" Kobayashi, of Japan, in a "dog off" in Coney Island where the two contestants battled to see who could finish five hot dogs first.
Chestnut and Kobayashi tied in the regulation competition, both eating 59 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, a record for a 10-minute competition.
"It was a little messier than I wanted it be, but I got them in me and I got them down," Chestnut said after the competition.
Organizers decided this year to change the contest from 12 minutes to 10 minutes after "a piece of old Brooklyn historical ephemera was found that stated that the first contest, held on July 4th, 1916, was a 10-minute contest," Major League Eating spokesman Ryan Nerz said.
The previous record for a 10-minute contest was 42 hot dogs, held by Tim "Eater X" Janus, Nerz said.
