Will former hot dog champ Takeru Kobayashi of Japan win back the Mustard Belt from California’s Joey Chestnut? Last July Fourth, the contest ended with a 5 wiener eat-off after a 59-59 tie. In May, Kobayashi bested Chestnut by a fraction of a P’Zone in an eating contest sponsored by Pizza Hut. The score was 5-3/4 to 5-1/2.
Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, Saturday, July 4th, 12 noon, Stillwell & Surf Aves, Coney Island. Broadcast on ESPN 12 noon- 1 pm.
