The negative publicity of this is going to hurt the contest and Nathans a great deal.
I'll bet they reinstate him.......if they're smart.
This guy is a legend and celebrity. Nathans should consider it an honor when he competes!
He helps them a much as the other way around at this point in his career.
This is insane!
Joey Chestnut downs 62 hot dogs at 2023 Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Contest to win 16th title

Contest in 2022 when he ate 63 dogs.
IF I CAN'T WATCH THAT LIVE, EACH YEAR... I ALWAYS WATCH THE REPLAY. LOL
AS FOR NATHANS? I'VE NEVER EATEN ONE, FOR FEAR THE SLAUGHTER IS DONE IN JEWISH TRADITION, THEY ARE NOT CONSIDERED KOSHER.

"Nathan’s Hot Dogs aren’t kosher because they don’t have rabbinic supervision in the manufacturing plant. They also might not use shochets to prepare the meat."
Thanks for that additional insight, Jean.
I'll bet Larry knows a thing or 10 about kosher food (-:
I WAS GONNA ASK LARRY ABOUT IT OVER THIS WEEKEND, BUT... WHEN YOU BROUGHT UP THAT CONTEST... I POSTED MY "CONCERNS" IN HOPES HE SEES IT.
PERSONALLY, I DON'T CARE FOR ALL BEEF HOT DOGS. I LIKE MINE WITH PORK & CHICKEN IN 'EM.
I'm had LEAN pork tonight.
White meat/chops. Yummy!
