Joey Chestnut, the 16-time hot dog-eating champion, will be competing in a new hot dog-eating contest on Netflix. This comes after he was excluded from the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July hot dog-eating contest due to a deal with a rival brand. Netflix announced a new hot dog-eating competition, “Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef,” which will feature Chestnut and his long-time rival, Takeru Kobayashi. The event is scheduled to be broadcast live on Sept. 2, reported the Associated Press on Wednesday.
