Hot Dog Eating Contest results 2205: Joey Chestnut devours competition for 17th title.
Joey Chestnut returned to the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest after a one-year ban and, well, you can guess the rest.
He performed like the GOAT he is.
Chestnut, 41, won his 17th title, with an official total of 70 ½ hot dogs and buns in the 10-minute contest.
That fell short of his record of 76 hot dogs and buns that he set in 2021.
“Oh, my gosh, I was nervous. First couple of hot dogs I was fumbling a little bit," Chestnut told ESPN after the contest.
Patrick Bertoletti, who won with Chestnut barred from competition last year, finished second 46 ½ hot dogs and buns.
“I found a pretty good rhythm," Chestnut said. "My goal was 70 to 77. I really wanted a little bit more. There’s next year and I’m just happy to be here."
Chestnut signed a three-year contract with Nathan’s in June, clearing the path for his return to the contest after the one-year ban.
