Joey Chestnut gulped to victory Friday in a fast and furious five-dog overtime round, beating legendary speed eater Takeru Kobayashi at Nathan's Fourth of July International Hot Dog Contest on Coney Island.

The two had tied at 59 hot dogs in 10 minutes.

It was a high-stakes rematch for Chestnut, 24, of San Jose, Calif., who last year grabbed the title from six-time champ Kobayashi, 30, of Japan, who was struggling with a jaw injury.

Yeah yeah.... jaw injury

2 in a row...  WTG Chestnut

WTG for America! Winning the speed eating title back from America proves that America does, indeed, lead the world in gluttony.
