American competitive eater Joey Chestnut won the 92nd Annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest this past July 4th. Chestnut wrested back the title from the Japanese, from six-time defending champion Kobayashi.
Chestnut consumed (aka inhaled) 66 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes. Kobayashi came in second with a personal best of 63 after suffering a, uh, shall we say, reversal of sorts during the home stretch. Kobayashi had been complaining of a jaw injury in the weeks before the competition.

The Hurley Street Hot Dog Eating Competition went down on Sunday 7/8. Tim "The Dragon" won with 6.5 hot dogs down the hatch in 12 minutes. Second place went to Elizabeth with 5.5 and third to Jennifer with 5.0. Not exactly the big time but nevertheless significant.
