Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest: The Photos You Need to See

Joey Chestnut reacts after winning the annual Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island. Competitive eating is a full time job for Chestnut. He trains year-round in a manner similar to a marathon runner, except with foods. He has several timed-eating warm-up days, leading up to one full-out practice day. The 32-year-old trains by constantly fasting and stretching his stomach with protein supplements, water and milk. He also runs three times a week to improve his breath control and his pacing.
