With a new world record for hot dogs eaten, native Californian Joey Chestnut knocked off 6 time winner Takeru Kobayashi to claim hot dog eating glory at the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. Joey Chestnut downed 66 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes to bring back the title to the United States for the first time since 1996 when New Jersey native Steve Keiner won in 1999. Chestnut had this to say after the competition was over, "This title's been held by Kobayashi for six years, so it's about time it came home. I knew going into this contest that Kobayashi was going to give 100 percent.''
