Joey Chestnut triumphed over Takeru Kobayashi in a highly anticipated hot dog-eating contest streamed on Netflix, devouring a record-breaking 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes. This event, dubbed 'Unfinished Beef,' marked their first head-to-head confrontation in 15 years and saw Kobayashi achieve a personal best of 66 hot dogs. Chestnut, a 16-time Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest champion, expressed his appreciation for Kobayashi's competitive spirit, saying, 'He drives me.' The contest took place at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, where Chestnut claimed a $100,000 prize, a trophy, and a championship belt. Notably, Chestnut was unable to compete in the Nathan's contest this year due to a sponsorship deal with rival Impossible Foods, which led to his disinvitation. Kobayashi stated this would be his last performance before retirement, adding emotional weight to the contest's significance.
