The Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest was held
on the 4th of July, as it is every year, and the
winner was Joey Chestnut, who also won last year.
This time, though, Chestnut had to win a "dog-off"
after ending up in a tie with six-time winner Takeru
Kobayashi when both men ate 59 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
Chestnut then pounded down another five "tie-breaker"
dogs faster than Kobayashi to take the crown.
