2009 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest - Joey Chestnut Goes for 3rd Straight Title

It's a glorious day in Brooklyn for the 2009 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island. It's being shown live on ESPN starting at 12 Noon on the 4th of July. Defending champion Joey Chestnut had to go to overtime to defeat Takeru "Kobi" Kobayahi in 2008... will the Japanese former champ turn the tables this year?

These guys will eat more than 50 hot dogs in just a few minutes... that can't be good for the body!
