Joey Chestnut revealed exclusively to Us Weekly whether he’d return to Nathan’s Hot Dog Contest after being barred for allegedly supporting Impossible Foods
When asked whether he would consider returning to the competition, Chestnut, 40, exclusively told Us Weekly he “absolutely” would.
“By all my old agreements, I should have been able to work with Impossible Foods, and they changed the agreement this year,” he explained to Us at Luxor’s HyperX Arena in Las Vegas. In June, a spokesperson for Major League Eating noted that the decision to eliminate Chestnut from the competition came after he supported “another hot dog brand” instead of Nathan’s.
The following day, it was announced that the 16-time hot dog eating champion would go head-to-head with Takeru Kobayashi, a six-time champion, in a Netflix special. Chestnut and Kobayashi’s competition is their first face-off in 15 years.
