oey Chestnut who is coming in as a -1000 odds favorite to win the 2010 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4th will be defending his 2009 title after winning the contest last year. He will do his best to shove as many hot dogs and buns down his throat to repeat his win for a back to back victory and earn himself that mustard-yellow belt.
"I'm fasting hard, practicing hard, and recovering, paying attention to my body," said Joey Chestnut, who ate 68 hot dogs last year. "I've been running more, trying to get a little bit healthier, but I love to eat, this is what I do."
Last year Joey Chestnut was able to consume 68 hot dogs and buns to defeat 18 other eaters in the 10 minute competition. Probably his biggest competitor would be 2009 runner-up, Takeru Kobayashi who was able to consume a close 65 hot dogs and buns. However, it looks like Chestnut won’t have to worry about his rival since it’s been reported that Kobayashi pulled out of the competition due to a dispute with Major League Eating.
"If Kobayashi doesn't show, there will other challengers," Chestnut said. "I'm just going out there to get a new record and eat as many hot dogs as I can."
