An Epic Battle
>> Friday
In a re-match that may have surpassed the excitement of the Thrilla in Manilla, Joey Chestnut retained the coveted Mustard Belt in an epic OT victory over Kobayashi at the annual Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest .
Determined to prove last year was no fluke, Chestnut downed 59 hot dogs in the new 10 minute regulation period and won the 5 dog sudden death over the Japanese legend. On this Fourth of July it feels fitting that America re-claims the honor of definitively possessing the top eater in the world.
