I was there at Nathan's Famous hot dog stand in Coney Island as Joey Chestnut won the annual July 4 hot dog eating contest for the second year in a row.

Wire story:

Chestnut needs overtime to keep hot dog title

Brooklyn, NY (Sports Network) - Joey Chestnut edged Takeru Kobayashi in overtime during the 93rd annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on Friday.

Chestnut, the defending champion, and Kobayashi, a six-time former champ, both consumed 59 hot dogs during the 10-minute regulation time period, forcing a five-dog eat off.

Chestnut then squeaked by the Japanese legend in the overtime period, retaining the famous Mustard Belt.

Last year, Chestnut stunned Kobayashi by consuming a world-record 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes.

It was the first time ever that there was a tie after the intial contest. The tie-breaker worked like this: The two of them were each given five more hot dogs in buns and whoever ate them all first would be the winner. Joey was mere seconds ahead as he stuffed the fifth and last hot dog down his throat. 😀
