After not competing in last year’s annual Fourth of July Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Competition, Joey Chestnut has announced that he will be back on Coney Island this year.
The competitive eater turned to X on Monday to share the news, writing, “I’m thrilled to be returning to the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest. This event means the world to me. It’s a cherished tradition, a celebration of American culture, and a huge part of my life.”
