There’s nothing more American than gorging oneself on processed meat product to the point of vomiting.

Just remember if you vomit you are disqualified.

A protester interrupted Joey Chestnut and was then body slammed by what looked like a body builder. The protester was not very smart.

Joey Chestnut wins again downing 63 hot dogs. A number certainly hurt by the protester early in the competition. The MC commented as the competition wore on: "Every time a competitor eats a hot dog, an angel gets it's wings."

Not much makes me gag, but this I just cannot watch.

My wife and I went a few years ago. I ate a few of Nathan's famous hotdogs, but no way could I compete with Joey Chestnut!

I remember once somehow catching this speeded up. Revolting.

Don’t mess with a finely tuned athlete in the middle of competition. Eye of the tiger, Rock. Eye of the tiger.

 

[Nohow]

Gluttony as sport. Only in America.

The proper term is “reversal of fortune”.

He is the best, isn't he? Talk about an entertainer.

Loved one of the announcers saying at #61 “Roger Maris would be proud”!

I must not have been paying attention closely and just saw Joey take down the protestor. I was wondering why he only ate 63 this year when he ate 74 last year. This just adds to the Joey Chestnut legend!!!
