Joey Chestnut Makes Big Fourth of July Announcement

Fourth of July doesn't feel the same without competitive eating legend Joey Chestnut taking part in the 2024 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.

Chesntnut is a 16-time champion and holds the all-time record for 76 hot dogs consumed at the 2021 event. Last year, he won once again with 62 consumed.

But this year, Chestnut announced that he would be something different for the America's Independence Day.

Chestnut posted on X saying, "This 4th will be a little different, but I'll still be eating a whole lot of all-beef hot dogs!

"I'm stoked to be going to Ft. Bliss, where I'll be eating against four of their finest soldiers."

Chestnut also noted that this 4 on 1 Ft. Bliss eating challenge will be broadcast live on his YouTube Channel for the world to see and enjoy.

The event will take place at 5PM ET, so be sure to mark your calendars and set time aside during your barbeque today to see the glizzy GOAT back in action.

Perhaps being kicked out of the Nathan's competition has motivated Chestnut to set another all-time record during this year's event in Ft. Bliss.
