Joey Chestnut won the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest for the 5th consecutive year at Coney Island today and by some miracle he kept them all in his stomach while the cameras were on him. The San Jose native ate 62 wieners in 10 minutes and beat out his next competitor by 7 dogs. So what does he get for his major stomach ache? He gets $10,000 for eating a year’s worth of frankfurters in 10 minutes.
Joey told ESPN that his girlfriend didn’t want him to come. Can you believe with the way he downs those footlongs like that that he actually has girlfriend and not a boyfriend. Oh wait…
