Joey Chestnut Win’s, Third Year In a Row, 2009 Nathan’s International Hot Dog Eating Contest
6Jul2009 Filed under: Food Buzz Author: Tasha
Celebrating the 4th of July, as usual, Nathan’s Famous July Fourth International Eating Contest took place in Coney Island where crowds of onlookers assembled at the corner of Surf and Stillwell avenues to watch hot dogs being shoved down between many contestnats within a ten-minute period.
America’s defending champion Joey Chestnut won the Nathan’s Famous July Fourth International Eating Contest, third year in a row, by eating 68 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, 3 1/2 more than Takeru Kobayashi of Japan, his arch-rival. By consuming all 68 dogs, Chestnut has broken the world record.
When asked why he entered the contest again Chestnut replied,
“I love to eat, I love the competition. It’s the Fourth of July, and you can get away with it on this day, push your body this hard, for something silly like this.”
Takeru Kobayashi came in second with a still-nauseatingly-high 64 and a half hot dogs. In third place was Patrick Bertoletti, who ate a mere 55 hot dogs. Sonya Thomas, set a new women’s world record by chowing down 41 hot dogs. Talk about “I am Woman, Hear Me Roar!”
