God Bless America, and hot dogs
2:44 pm —
Since 2001, Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest has been dominated by Japanese national Takeru Kobayashi. But not this year. A 22-year old engineering student from California named Joey Chestnut won the contest today with a gut-busting 66 hot dogs. That number again, is 66 hot dogs.
It’s a great day to be an American.
Happy 4th of July!
