Two of the greatest food-eating competitors will square off in a marquee showdown later this summer.
Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi are set to face each other in Netflix’s Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef hot dog eating competition, which will stream live on the platform on Sept. 2.
News broke this week that Chestnut will not participate in the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest next month, paving the way for this to be his main event for the summer.
The release promises an event viewers will relish: “The showdown will settle a 15-year rivalry between the two competitive eaters: Will Chestnut maintain his title as the world’s greatest, or will Kobayashi come in with a vengeance and regain his throne?”
A rivalry simmering for 15 years.
