Fox News
Major League Eating president Richard Shea said Wednesday that Joey Chestnut's absence will not stop the contest from happening on the Fourth of July.
Ryan Gaydos is a senior editor for Fox News Digital.
Shea said on ABC News’ "Start Here" podcast that the contest will still happen in Brooklyn, New York, next month.
"Yes, this is the biggest day in competitive eating," Shea said. "This is the Masters. The mustard yellow belt is Major League Eating’s green jacket. There’s no competitive eating fan, or I would argue sports fan, that would refute that."
