NEW YORK — Joey “Jaws” Chestnut upset Matt Stonie to regain the championship title at the annual July Fourth hot dog eating contest at Nathan’s Famous in Coney Island.
Chestnut downed 70 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes on Monday, beating Stonie by 17 dogs.
Both men are from San Jose, California.
Chestnut’s 70 dogs were the most ever eaten at a competition. In 2013, he set a world record by eating 69 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes.
The 32-year-old Chestnut won eight straight competitions before losing the Mustard Yellow International Belt to Stonie last year in an upset.
Contest officials said Chestnut set a new record last month when he ate 73½ hot dogs and buns during a qualifying event.
