When news came out that the 2023 Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest in New York was going to be canceled on Tuesday due to lightning, the now-16-time champion Joey Chestnut apparently was not willing to let it happen without some pushback.
Chestnut was reportedly heard saying quite the one-liner about the status of the competition.
“I’m gonna get the rest of the guys out and we’re gonna do this f---er,” Chestnut reportedly said, according to Kenneth Heasley.
