Joey Chestnut returned to Coney Island and glory on Friday afternoon as he captured his 17th Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. Chestnut officially devoured 70.5 hot dogs, his sixth highest total at the event.
After the competition, Chestnut spoke with ESPN's Tiffany Greene who had asked him earlier in the event if 80 hot dogs were a possibility. While Chestnut fell short of his own 2021 record of 76 hot dogs and buns this year, he still put up a respectable number.
