Hot dog! Joey Chestnut won his 14th Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest in typical dominant fashion on Sunday, devouring a new record of 76 franks in 10 minutes to keep his mantle atop the sport. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Chestnut, who goes by "Jaws," put on another eating clinic to claim the Mustard Belt, out-eating second place finisher Geoffrey Esper (50). Chesnut has now won 14 of the last 15 hot dog eating contests since taking down six-time defending champion Takeru Kobayashi in 2007, with his only loss in 2015 to Matt Stonie. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In his storied career at the annual Independence Day event, Chestnut has now eaten a record 1,089 hot dogs. On Sunday, Chestnut came out ready and was on record pace, downing 30 hot dogs in three minutes. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ On the women's side, Michelle Lesco won the competition with 30¾ hot dogs in 10 minutes.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Photos by David Dee Delgado via @gettyimages⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #HotDog #FourthOfJuly #Nathan's
