The event was broadcast live on ESPN at noon, July 4th and rebroadcast (when we watched it) at 2 PM on ESPN2. Joey "Jaws" Chestnut of San Jose, California won his 8th championship in a row after proposing to his long-time girlfriend before he went into chowaction.
He ate 65 hot dogs and didn't break his record he set last year at 69. In the women's group, Miki Sudo, of Las Vegas, ate 34. Sadly, he wasn't up against seven-time winner Takeru Kobayashi who refused to sign an exclusive contract with MLE (Major League Eating, and is presently banned from its functions.
The winner gets the mustard yellow big belt.
Still, I'd rather Savor the Dogs. --Cooter
