Joey Chestnut Nathan’s Ban Update. Chestnut got the ultimate revenge on Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Restaurant in Coney Island. Joey “Turd” Chestnut dropped a deuce the size of Manhattan on the boardwalk entrance to the restaurant. Known as The GOAT of competitive eating, Chestnut was banned from the famous July 4th Hot Dog eating competition after it was learned that he signed a deal with a company that makes plant-based franks. 

Organizers of the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest said that they banned Chestnut from the July 4th event after he signed an endorsement deal with Soylent Green Foods, which recently launched a new marketing campaign specifically targeting meat-eaters. The campaign alleges that Nathan’s puts Rat Penis in their hot dogs. A Nathan’s spokesperson denies the allegation. “Nathan’s categorically denies putting Rat Penis into their hot dogs. Not now nor ever have we knowingly put a rat penis into our delicious dogs.”

Joey Chestnut Nathan’s Ban

Fans are devastated that the 16 time champion will not appear in this year’s competition. Chestnut has been called the Babe Ruth of eating and has demolished over a thousand hot dogs in the contestsince his quest for Coney Island dominance began in 2005. He has consistently won the coveted Mustard Yellow Belt every year since, except for an underdog upset in 2015. The number of hot dogs Joey has guzzled over the years would circle the earth 2x over. 

As a protest for the ban, Chestnut arrived to the Coney Island Boardwalk bright and early after consuming 69 plant based hot dogs. He then dropped his trousers in front of Nathan’s and unleashed the Kraken. After nearly 30 minutes, Chestnut produced a perfect 28 foot turd on Nathan’s doorstep. The manager tried shooing Joey away by spraying him with a hose but he stood his ground. 

28ft

The 28 foot turd broke the world record previously set by Chestnut. In 2023 Approximately 6 hours after consuming 62 hot dogs, Chestnut broke another record. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Joey broke the record for the longest turd ever recorded. Incredibly, Chestnut pinched a loaf of 27 feet. The previous record of 26 feet was set by a Michigan woman in 1995. “I was in another zone” said Chestnut. “The key is to stay loose and never break the chain. You need a continuous turd to break the record. I broke the toilet and every pipe in the house, but a plumber was able to capture the feat on a special snake camera. 62 hot dogs is cool, but a 27 foot turd is amazing. My parents are so proud.”
