Joey Chestnut wins Vegas with 50 Hot Dogs

We all new this guy could eat. But when Joey Chestnut powered down 50 hot dogs and buns on Thursday, he momentarily stunned the competitive eating world into silence. He not only set a new US record for hot dogs, but he came within touching distance of the world record of 53.2, set by Kobayashi in 2004. Last year, Koby took home the Mustard Belt with only 49. For the first time since 1999 (and before that in 1996), an American may truly be prepared to take the title from the Japanese on July 4th.
