Joey Chestnut announced on Monday he will return to the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest next month following his absence from the event in 2024.

Chestnut, who holds the competition's record for most hot dogs eaten with 76 in 2021, wrote on social media that he and the organizers of the contest found common ground on his sponsorships.
