Joey Chestnut wins 7th consecutive Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest

[UrbScotty]

Joey Chestnut downed 69 franks and devoured his own record in the men's Fourth of July hot dog eating contest while Sonya Thomas defended her title in the women's competition.

The San Jose, Calif., man known as Jaws ate one more wiener than his previous record to capture the mustard-yellow champion's belt. He said afterward that he was motivated by the prestige, not the $10,000 prize money.

"I'd do this for nothing," he said.

Thomas, a 100-pound dynamo known as the "Black Widow" of competitive eating, wolfed down nearly 37 wieners to narrowly eke out her own victory.

1. I don't really see how this qualifies as weird if it's an annual contest.

Weird would be if he ate 69 hot dogs wearing a pink tutu.
