Joey Chestnut did more than take down longtime rival Takeru Kobayashi in their hot dog-eating showdown on Monday.
The American star also shattered his own world record during the “Unfinished Beef” Netflix contest.
Chestnut devoured 83 hot dogs and buns, breaking his previous world record of 76 hot dogs in the 10-minute competition. The feat was even more impressive considering the contest introduced new rules, such as a ban on dunking the hot dogs in water.
The record-breaking hot dog slid down Chestnut’s throat with 70 seconds left to eat.
Chestnut set the previous record at Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest in 2021.
“I’ve been trying to hit 80 hot dogs for years, and without Kobayashi, I was never able to do it,’’ Chestnut said after the contest. “He drives me. We weren’t always nice to each other, but I love the way we push each other to be our best.’’
Kobayashi ate 66 hot dogs during the Netflix event, breaking his personal best of 64 ½.
