Joey Chestnut is returning to the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest after a year-long absence, seeking his 17th victory. His previous absence stemmed from a ban due to his endorsement deal with Impossible Foods, which conflicted with the Major League Eating's regulations. Despite not competing last year, Chestnut remains a pivotal figure in competitive eating, having dominated for years and previously bested his main rival, Takeru Kobayashi. Chestnut expresses his excitement about participating again, emphasizing the event's importance in celebrating American culture and freedom.
"This event means the world to me. It's a cherished tradition, a celebration of American culture, and a huge part of my life."
"The Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest stands as an enduring beacon of freedom for our nation and the world."
