Two competitive eating legends will re-ignite a heated rivalry in this first time ever winner-takes-all hot dog event, titled "Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef." The star-studded show event is set to be streamed for the first time ever via Netflix on Labor Day, September 2, 2024. This face-off marks the first time these iconic eaters will compete against each other since 2009, promising an epic showdown that has fans eagerly awaiting the ultimate hot dog eating champion.
The Legends and Their Rivalry
The current world record is held by 16-time Nathan's champ Joey Chestnut, who inhaled just a mere four more franks than Fields. He is known as the prominent competitive eater in profile and is especially famous for thwarting Kobayashi during a tense, ligament-tearing sudden-death eat-off (after six years of humbling victory) at the 2009 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Title. By contrast, Takeru Kobayashi—who is mostly responsible for making competitive eating a national interest—more than doubled the existing Nathan's record in 2001 and then broke it three times.
The Long-Awaited Showdown
The rivalry between Chestnut and Kobayashi has been going on for well over a decade, with fans clamoring to see another chapter in the saga. The bout on Netflix looks to be a huge global affair, with fans tuning in from all around the world. Chestnut and Kobayashi have both said they are determined to win, if it was still the same Chestnut says: "Kobayashi is my biggest rival in eating contests -- we went at each other's strong points this year. An unconvinced Kobayashi fired back with an equally brazen prediction -- vowing that the 16-time Nathan's Hot Dog Eating champ will fall before him and his retirement plans include only ONE MORE loss at the hands of Chestnut.
The Netflix Connection
This follows Netflix's strategy of adding sports-adjacent, "unique" content to its platform and includes work by a trio that has been calling the annual Coney Island event for some time. The news follows Netflix last year securing the exclusive streaming rights to carry two NFL games on Christmas Day 2024, as a sign of its big play in sports other than highlights packages and non-Time Warner League content.
The Mark of a Longstanding Rivalry
It is one of the orgy-umami days on our food calendar, a time for hot dogs and uncovering - but also turning itself into a big? In hermetically sealed wrapping designed to contain Burkhardt's money not so much as consumer goods. Fans still await the announcement regarding where and when exactly this battle will take place -- though its mere prospect has hardcore eaters across America drooling in anticipation. More details will be revealed as we approach the contest date, so make sure to tune in and watch who reigns supreme of all hot dog munchers.
In summary, the return of Chestnut and Kobayashi is to become a show that all competitive eaters should look forward to, taking viewers across the globe as each munch on food and sparks curiosity in this wild sport.
