59 Hot Dogs Not Enough?
Posted by livininsanity on July 4, 2008
Famed six-time hot dog eating champion Takeru Kobayashi and reigning hot dog eating champion Joey Chestnut needed overtime to decide who would be crowned the 2008 Hot Dog Eating Champion in Coney Island, New York, today.
After ten minutes both men ate 59 hot dogs. Yes, that’s right, they TIED! But, they couldn’t both be crowned winners. No. Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest must have one decisive winner. Hence, overtime.
Overtime consisted of a five hot dog eat off. (Is that all? This contest is seeming less and less manly.) And, eventually, a winner was crowned – call him Joey “Hotdoggin” Chestnut. So, now that Joey Chestnut has won the competition two years in a row, does this mean the diminutive Takeru Kobayashi will be dethroned for good? Or, will he be able to add a seventh title to his already Hall of Fame championship eating repertoire?
