Joey Chestnut downs record 76 hot dogs to win 14th Nathan's title
Joey Chestnut is still the king of the hot dog eating world.
The 37-year-old won his sixth straight Mustard Belt - and 14th title overall - in the men's competition at the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, New York, on Sunday. Chestnut consumed 76 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, beating the previous world record of 75 hot dogs and buns, which Chestnut set at last year's event.
Joey Chestnut is the single most dominant athlete (in their sport) of all time.
