The great America and its history to read

Author: Archie Craven

Joey Chestnut, 32, today achieved a new victory in the traditional competition organized by Nathan's signature by devouring 70 hot dogs in 10 minutes, in celebration of July 4th, Independence Day of the United States.

The company, which is celebrating the centenary of its creation this year, has been holding these contests since 1972, and this time the victory went to Chestnut, who defeated last year's champion, Matt Stonier, 24 years old.

With today's victory, Chestnut accumulates nine victories in the traditional competition, which takes place in the original Nathan's store on Coney Island, coinciding with Independence Day of United States, and is followed by thousands of people.
