American Joey Chestnut wolfed down a world record 83 hot dogs during Netflix's Labor Day special, besting rival competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi of Japan in the process, reports UPI.
The contestants had 10 minutes to eat as many hot dogs as they could manage during the Monday special, with Chestnut's 83 not only beating Kobayashi's 67 hot dogs consumed during the event but his own world record of 76 that he set back in 2021.
Chestnut, 40, and Kobayashi, 46, are two of the most famous and decorated competitive eaters who have challenged one another for title of supreme hot dog consumer at the famous annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Tuesday's event, however, was the first time they had gone head-to-head in 15 years, according to Netflix.
