Fox News
Joey Chestnut, the winner of 16 of the last 17 Nathan's hot dog eating contests, was barred from participating in the 2024 event after inking a deal with a company rival.
Chestnut recently signed a deal with Impossible Foods, a rival of Nathan's that has launched a vegan wiener, the New York Post reported.
"We are devastated to learn that Joey Chestnut has chosen to represent a rival brand that sells plant-based hot dogs rather than competing in the 2024 Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest," Major League Eating (MLE) said in a statement."
