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.
