Longtime hot dog-eating champion Joey Chestnut, who was recently expelled from the popular Nathan’s July 4th Hot Dog Eating Contest, was recently spotted in a Costco parking lot binge-eating hot dogs for the sheer fun of it, sources have confirmed.
“I couldn’t believe it,” said local shopper Kyle Monroe. “I was just stopping by Costco after work real quick to pick up a year’s supply of fish sticks, and who do I see in the parking lot but Joey Chestnut? I couldn’t believe it. I asked him if he was filming a documentary for Netflix or something, but he said no, he was just straight up out here eating hot dogs.”
“At least that’s what I think he said,” Monroe added. “He had so many damn hot dogs in his mouth.”
In fact, the 16-time Nathan’s champ denied prepping for any upcoming competitions or projects at all, contrary to what many assumed.
“I was inhaling hot dogs long before I became famous for inhaling hot dogs,” said Chestnut, we’re pretty sure. “I was discovered and put on the fast track to stardom, and you know what? Somewhere along the way, I got so blinded by the lights of Hollywood I forgot what I was really passionate about: dipping hot dogs in water and eating them so fast you can’t believe it. This is just me getting back to my roots.”
When reached for comment, a representative of Costco informed The Daily Skrape that Joey Chestnut owes them $100 for all the hot dogs he ate.
Seventy hotdogs in ten minutes! Is this a great country, or what?
Beware! Giant Fart on the way!
I wonder if he keeps them down?
I like Hot dogs but in a reasonable amount. I think it is silly to be a glutton just to win a contest when there are pigmies starving to death in New Guinea.
