Down goes Chestnut! Down goes Chestnut! Matt Stonie is the new king of food with a 62-59 victory over Chestnut.
One of my first posts on this blog way back in the day was about Joey Chestnut beating then-unbeatable-champ Kobayashi. Chestnut was (until today) still defending that title! Eight straight anything is pretty impressive, Chestnut is clearly a Competitive Eating Hall of Famer (and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise!). We'll see if Matt Stonie can be the Nadal to Chestnut's Federer and rule Nathan's for the next decade.
Can't help but add this quote from the ESPN article:After his victory last year, he dropped to one knee and proposed to his longtime girlfriend. They have since broken up.
Ouch! Been a tough year for Chestnut, culminating in a performance way off his career high of 69 (couldn't even hit 60 this year). Feels like we're only halfway through the Joey Chestnut 30-for-30.
