The rivalry between competitive eaters Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi is set to reignite in a live-streamed hot dog eating contest on Netflix this Labor Day. Chestnut, a 16-time winner of the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, was barred from this year’s competition due to a partnership with Impossible Foods, but will now face off against Kobayashi in a special event titled “Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef.”
Despite Kobayashi’s plans to retire from competitive eating, he is determined to take down Chestnut one last time in this epic showdown. The last time these two legends competed against each other was in 2009, when Chestnut emerged victorious in a five-dog sudden death round at Nathan’s.
Fans of competitive eating can look forward to witnessing this historic battle between two of the sport’s greatest competitors. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting event, and don’t miss the live stream on Netflix this Labor Day.
