Chestnut wins in closest match in Nathan's history!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. defending champion Joey Chestnut won the
annual Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest on Friday by downing 64
hot dogs in a competition that stretched into a first-ever overtime.

Chestnut, of San Jose, California, defeated six-time champion Takeru
Kobayashi of Japan in the annual event held at New York's Coney Island
beach.

The two were tied at 59 hot dogs a piece at the end of the regulation
10 minutes, forcing a sudden death overtime to determine which man
could eat five more hotdogs in the shortest time.

Organizers said it was the first overtime in the contest's history.

The winner receives $10,000, a mustard yellow belt and a year's supply
of hotdogs from Nathan's, which began in 1916 with a small Coney
Island hot dog stand and now sells food products globally.

Man, I gotta start competitive eating. It's def worth the 10,000 buckaroonees
