The world’s greatest eater will limp bravely into battle in the sport’s premiere event on Monday, July 4th.

Joey Chestnut shocked the competitive-eating community on Friday when he hobbled into Hudson Yards in New York City on crutches during the official weigh-in before the 2022 Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest — a 4th of July tradition on Coney Island.

“I’m gonna eat like a madman,” the world’s top-ranked eater told Fox News Digital before weighing in at 235 pounds.

If I could have my hot dogs with jalapeno peppers instead of mustard, I might join that contest. I really like jalapenos on my hot dogs.

Nathans use to be everywhere in the 1970s and 1980s I even worked at one 1978 here in the leftist sewerhole of NY, but I don’t see any of them around anymore. I guess they were taxed out of existence except for the one in Coney Island.

Are you serious? Something as American as Nathans is now owned by those commie bastards as well? What’s next, Chinese apple pie and baseball?

We need laws to prevent this, this is completely out of hand. The greed factor is destroying this country, people including those in our own government selling out this country for a buck.

Do these pigs see the hell that is going on in China? All those animal loving lefists, do they ever see the level of animal torture that goes on there? It’s like a sport over the there, a test of machismo how much you can torture a dog or cat. All those PETA celebretards who support leftists that support China who take millions from China, and they turn the other cheek to the animal torture.

Weighed in before an eating contest. Can someone weigh too much or too little and not make the cut?

In the abstract, a fascinating contest. In reality, 10 minutes of disgusting behavior. Notice that news reports of the annual event rarely show the contestants cramming in the dogs & buns, lest they induce a mass gag reflex. (ESPN or some other worthless channel may carry video of the entire thing.)
