Every year on July 4th, the world’s eyes turn to New York for the most famous hot dog eating contest. And this year, Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, the Indiana legend, proved once again why he’s the king of this bizarre sport. In his 17th career win, Joey devoured a staggering 70 hot dogs in just 10 minutes!

Chestnut is known for his relentless drive and hunger for the title. This year marked his 20th appearance at the international televised contest, after missing last year due to a contract dispute. His dedication and desire to win are unquestionable, and fans worldwide eagerly watch every bite he takes.
But let’s be honest — who can eat 70 hot dogs in 10 minutes? That’s like eating an entire barbecue at one party! While some wonder how it’s even possible, others question if it’s healthy or just pure madness. Still, Joey “Jaws” Chestnut has proven he’s the undisputed champion and will continue to reign in this strange but fascinating sport.
