Joey Chestnut won't compete in 2024 hot dog eating contest

Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, 40, has been competing since 2005 and hasn’t lost since 2015. At last year’s Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest he downed 62 franks and buns in 10 minutes. But Major League Eating event organizer George Shea says Chestnut is moving away from the contest due to a contract dispute.
