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.

I get it. WH group, a Chinese company owns Nathan’s, it also owns Smithfield foods ( farmer John’s) which is pulling out of L.A. due to high costs. Smithfield has(had) it’s own farms. Now the farmland is controlled by WH Group.
China is being financed by Americans buying their products...u.s.products are too costly to produce due to ridiculous regulations passed by college brainwashed Marxists. Now I understand why the Chicoms are in our colleges. They are brainwashing the students to vote for laws that favor China economically, and eventually politically. All under the guise of equity.
A sports that is crazy... Go Joey... However, not going to watch... Going to watch Xfinity race this afternoon and the SRX race at my hometrack of Stafford CT tonight.
Please note: ConAgra, an American food company, sold Butterball, Eckrich, and Armour to Smithfield foods( now owned by WHBGroup).
Now I can see why there is so much political pressure on ConAgra. Maybe some of it is correct....but it smells awfully fishy...
Correction...WH GROUP..not WHBGroup...

The old hollow leg trick!
They always talk about the contest, the contestants, the winner and the number of hotdogs eaten. Nothing about the aftermath...or is it a purge?
It’s a peculiar title to defend. Winning it once or twice to prove you can is one thing. Competing for over 15 years is something else.
To each their own as far as hobbies, I guess.
“ So they’re handicapping him?”
Already did. But Joey is a fighter, ignoring the odds against him. A true American hero! “Stand up Joey, let’s see you.”
