Chestnut wins hot dog contest after eat-off

NEW YORK - Joey Chestnut reclaimed the top spot at the annual hot dog eating contest in Coney Island on Friday after first tying with archrival Takeru Kobayashi in a 10-minute chow-down and then beating him in a five-dog eat-off.

The men tied at 59 frankfurters in 10 minutes, before being made to gobble another five dogs in a last-minute tiebreaker. They consumed 64 hot dogs total and were looking quite peaked after the competition.

Ah, yes, what better way to celebrate America than to feature a hot-dog-eating contest? :rolleyes: No wonder we're a nation of fat slobs. :(
