Longstanding beef has finally been squashed.
A competitive eater has beaten his rival in a one-on-one hot dog eating contest live-streamed on Netflix over the weekend.Joey Chestnut defeated Takeru Kobayashi in a one-on-one hot dog eating contest Sunday afternoon at the Hyper X Arena in Las Vegas.
“This is amazing,” Chestnut said afterward. “I’ve been trying to hit 80 hot dogs for years. Without Kobayashi, I was never able to do it. He drives me. We weren’t always nice to each other, but I love the way we push each other to be our best.” The last time they met was in the 2009 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, when Chestnut beat Kobayashi after a five-dog sudden death.Chestnut won 16 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contests, while Kobayashi, who said Monday that he “did everything I could,” won six.But this matchup was separate from the famous event on Coney Island.
Chestnut and Kobayashi were not allowed to separate the hot dog from the bun or dip either in water, a departure from what is allowed at Nathan’s contest.“When I first heard the rules about no dunking, I was really worried,” Chestnut said. “But then I learned how to eat them like this. Any other hot dog eating contest I do, I’m gonna be eating some of them without dunking. This was amazing.”
