A hot dog eating champion is returning to the greatest stage in competitive eating, and this athlete is hungry for another impressive Fourth of July win.

Chestnut, who had been the reigning and defending 16-time hot dog eating champion, did not compete in last year's contest due to his partnership with a rival company that makes plant-based hot dogs.

After a contract dispute, Joey Chestnut is set to compete in Nathan's Famous hot dog eating contest, thrilling fans with his anticipated comeback.
