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!
