Joey Chestnut to compete against 'fiercest rival' in new hot dog eating contest after Nathan's ban

OutKick host Dan Dakich joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss his reaction to Chestnut's ban and Caitlin Clark being left off Team USA. 

Joey Chestnut might be barred from this year’s Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, but he’s already found a different opportunity to consume hot dogs thanks to Netflix. 

Netflix is hosting a live-streamed event this Labor Day (Sept. 2), featuring Chestnut and another competitive eating G.O.A.T. — Takeru Kobayashi. 

The two legends will compete in the special titled "Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef," in which they will be going head-to-head in a hot dog eating contest.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the hot dogs will be all-beef, and the reason that’s significant comes from Chestnut’s partnership with Impossible Foods, which is launching a vegan wiener. That deal didn’t sit well with Major League Eating (MLE) and Nathan’s, who barred him from this year’s competition. 

Chestnut, a 16-time winner of the Hot Dog Eating Contest, has won the last eight competitions.

"I was gutted to learn from the media that after 19 years Im [sic] banned from the Nathan's July 4th Hot Dog Eating Contest," Chestnut wrote in a statement. "I love competing in that event, I love celebrating America with my fans all over this great country on the 4th and I have been training to defend my title.
