If you can eat 83 hotdogs in 10 minutes ( you must eat the bun also) you deserve a trophy Joey Chestnut mustered the strength to down a world record 83 hot dogs on Monday, relishing another victory against rival Takeru Kobayashi, who struggled to catch up to the world's best competitive eater in Netflix's "Unfinished Beef" Labor Day showdown.Following the same format as the Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest held in Coney Island, New York, Chestnut and Kobayashi had 10 minutes to eat as many hot dogs as they could. According to host Rob Riggle, the production had prepared 300 hot dogs in anticipation of the event, streamed live on Netflix from the Hyper X Arena in Las Vegas.Competitors were not allowed to dunk or pour water on the hot dogs, or separate the beef franks from their buns, with penalties levied for excess crumbs and regurgitation. While Kobayashi was only able to eat 67 hot dogs, Chestnut put back 83, beating his own world record of 76 set at the 2021 Nathan's contest
