Two protestors interrupt the Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest in which competitive eater Joey Chestnut wins his 15th title eating 63 Nathan's hot dogs at the 2022 Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Islan NEW YORK - Joey "Jaws" Chestnut, who gobbled his way to a 15th win Monday at the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest, was seen putting an interloper in a brief chokehold mid-event.
The 37-year-old hot dog eating champion sucked down 63 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes eclipsing the event’s closest competitor, Geoffrey Esper, by 20 hot dogs.
But Chestnut’s performance was briefly disrupted by an animal-rights protestor who rushed the stage as Chestnut was still chomping down on dogs.
The strange disturbance only lasted a few seconds as Chestnut was seen throwing the protestor down to the floor."Only Joey Chesnut can demolish 63 Glizzies and take down a protestor at the same time.
