The Gal Gadot of Coney Island wins!

 

[bjork]

I kinda feel ashamed that I completely forgot about this.

Do they still cheat so Chestnut wins?

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

Somehow my brother and I started the tradition of watching this every year, and then going to the pool. He'll be here any minute. Already have ESPN2 tuned in. Beers in the cooler on ice. Ready.

 

[BadAss2961]

Matt Stonie is that dude. Best youtube channel.

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

Matt Stonie is that dude. Best youtube channel.

Yeah I just discovered it this week. Dude can eat, no doubt.

Also, this is maybe the best part of the whole thing because of how absurd it is:

Matt Stonie is that dude. Best youtube channel.

I'm more of a Randy Santel man myself.

 

[Luschient]

After watching this horrendous display of eating one year, I was morbidly curious what a hot dog broken in half and dipped in water tastes like. Not curious enough to try it but still...

 

[FTF]

I kinda feel ashamed that I completely forgot about this.

Do they still cheat so Chestnut wins?

Please explain?

 

[bryehn]

Not on TV in Canada this year. I'm mega bummed duders. I love the guy that does the intros.

Total was set at 71.5, which seems higher than years past.

 

[Jer]

Used to watch this religiously until all the Kobayashi drama. Free Kobi!

 

[bjork]

Please explain?

Old GAF history/in-joke.

[Deku Tree]

How many hotdogs can Joey eat in 12 minutes?

 

[Luschient]

I have my whole house hype about this now.

 

[DogDude]

I don't get why they can't let kobayashi on board. The rematch would be bigger than Mayweather/Mcgregor

 

[Sanjuro]
