Hot dog contest goes to OT

As if eating nearly 60 hot dogs in 10 minutes isn’t stomach-challenging enough, a tie in regulation meant this year’s annual Fourth of July hot dog eating contest went to overtime. Joey Chestnut held on to the title for the second year in a row, beating six-time past champ Takeru Kobayashi by eating five more dogs more quickly in OT.

But, all is not over. They’ll square off again over Krystal’s sliders in September.

And, you can play hot dog glutton yourself, on your computer.
