Man eats 74 hot dogs in 10 minutes, breaking his own world record

Reigning hot dog eating champion Joey Chestnut defended his title on Wednesday and set a new world record at Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, New York. No one even came close. 

Chestnut, described on ESPN as having the “the esophagus of a champion” and the “the stomach of a warlord” scoffed down 74 hot dogs and buns in just 10 minutes. This marks his 11th win in the last 12 years.

Following Chestnut, Carmen Cincotti shoved 63 hot dogs down his gullet, and Matt Stonie managed to devour 43 dogs.
