NEW YORK (AP) — Matt Stonie shocked the competitive eating world on Saturday by upsetting Joey "Jaws" Chestnut at the Fourth of July hot dog eating contest at Nathan's Famous in Coney Island, breaking Chestnut's bid for a ninth straight victory. Stonie, 23, who finished second last year, downed 62 hot dogs and buns, beating Chestnut by two. Both are from San Jose, California. As thousands of spectators observed the eaters on an elevated stage, the next closest competitor ate 32 hot dogs. "I trained hard for this. This is actually amazing," Stonie told ESPN, which broadcast the competition live like the major sporting event its biggest fans say it has become. Afterward, Stonie, holding his fist in the air in victory, said he came into the competition confident and prepared. Chestnut, smiling in defeat, said he was slow and couldn't catch Stonie. "I've been looking for competition for a long time and I finally have it," he said, vowing to return next year. "He made me hungry." Early in the contest, Chestnut seemed to have a slight edge but Stonie moved ahead after several minutes and seemed to be slowly extending his lead until the final bell. The men's contest came more than an hour after the women competed, with defending champion Miki Sudo capturing first place with a flourish that emphasized strategy rather than condiments. The Las Vegas woman ate 38 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes to claim the title for the second straight year, along with the $10,000 that comes with it. She retained the coveted mustard yellow winner's championship belt after downing four more wieners than last year and besting Sonya "Black Widow" Thomas of Alexandria, Virginia, who devoured 31 hot dogs. Sudo employed a successful strategy of eating the hot dogs separately from the buns and swallowing the buns after first dipping them in Crystal Light. A very light rain fell off and on before the event got underway. The colorful holiday tradition draws its share of characters. Someone walked around dressed as a giant hot dog. The spectacle also included a few chanting animal welfare protesters bearing anti-meat signs adorned with fake blood. Security included police dogs that apparently were not thrown off by the scent of the grilled meat, along with police officers on rooftops. Poster Comment: "The spectacle also included a few chanting animal welfare protesters bearing anti-meat signs adorned with fake blood." Nothing I loath more than a self important activist.

Impressively disgusting.
How can someone eat that many. I don't get it.
Nothing I loath more than a self important activist. These chanting, protesting enviro-RAT lunatics... They are the same "self important activists" -- usually Commies -- with too much free time (thanks to their theft of welfare from those who work.) ALL of these hypocrites use oil/animal products (leather shoes) OR especially plastic/vinyl shoes/computer/heating (created from evil oil.)
The whole men's competition is already posted on YouTube. It's pretty nasty to watch. lol
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Never mind the how...WHY?? 24 hours later, who would be surprised at PART 2 of the residue of this dopey gluttonous contest: 'LONGEST DEUCE' (Expect a raucous, rockin' crowd of homos to FLOCK to this portion of the "competition.")
Hey Chuck -- I forgot to thank you for providing that link to DDD and all the spots. Looks like in Joisey, we got gypted. Didn't see anything that was too impressive -- not like elsewhere. One of our DDDs was...a hot dog joint on Long Beach Island. (REALLY??) You'd think our diners would be far more creative than they are. Have you by chance checked out any of these DDDs?
I don't want to. I eat no more than one or two hot dogs per month - And pop the dog-puppy into the microwave...
I prefer the George Foreman grill for my hot dogs. Or an actual fire grill outside.
Unless you can provide more details or a link - Then again - my memory may be shot worse than I thought -
I have one - but only use it for grilled cheese sandwiches.
I had to click on the link to see if they were now allowing race horses to enter hot dog eating contests. Are those real names or stage names? Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
I would imagine real names. Joey Chestnut is a long time champion at this. Like 8 or 9 years. I once ate 21 pancakes in 10 minutes (or 20 minutes, can't remember the time). It was a fundraiser for a high school, during a maple fest. I've never touched a pancake ever again. I shit gold paste for a week. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Then again - my memory may be shot worse than I thought - so let me know... Heh -- BOTH are memories are shot. On the subject of food, I assumed the DDD link was you...or was posted TO you. It might have been CZ82 who provided that link...but I can't find it. The link was cool -- mapped out all the DDDs in the country from the shows -- with videos. Wuz dat you, CZ??
Lol...
They're lucky Meguro wasn't in the contest. This sort of thing would be his forte.
Small-town, normal USA. Decent food, regular crowd. Glad they still exist. Now IF you do find a DDD to hang out at (and it's in Jersey) let me and Chuck know. ALL these great places seem to be a thousand miles away from us :-( Here check this out... http://www.flavortownusa.com/states/ “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.” CZ82 posted on 2015-06-29 13:39:21 ET Reply Trace Private Reply Yup... “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”

Thanks, CZ. I know you and Chuck have sorta exchanged recipes occasionally (my memory serves correctly in this case...right?? :-)
Which "thing"? The consumption or celebrating the "clean-out op"? ;-)
I was fixin to say he only likes the ones that have a hole running thru the middle of it but it looks like you beat me to it. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
Yup... then they'd be forced to add more rules. The person who consumes the most hotdogs BY MOUTH in 10 minutes is the winner. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Doesn't this belong in Breaking News? Or perhaps a new category, "News We Can't Live Without"?
I think it was interesting just the way it was posted. Too many faggot articles. Trying to balance the forum discussion.

I don't get it.
and only when I don't feel like cooking.
I keep them wrapped and frozen - for just
such the occasion that: "I've got to eat
something before I pass out."
