Kobayashi and Chestnut make waves on Coney Island

Kobayashi and Chestnut have long been prominent figures in competitive eating, with their exploits at the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog eating contest ramping up their rivalry. The Japanese was the first to make his name in the Coney Island event, winning six straight victories beginning 2001.

However, Chestnut burst into the scene in 2007 and dethroned Kobayashi.

The Netflix contest was the first match up between the two in 15 years, the last time being the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog eating contest held on the Fourth of July in 2009. Kobayashi stopped competing in the annual contest after that year because he refused to sign an exclusive contract with Major League Eating.

Chestnut and Kobayashi are the only men’s competitors who have won the Nathan’s contest more than four times. Kobayashi holds six Mustard Belts, while Chestnut owns an unbelievable 16 titles. The “Unfinished Beef” champion did not compete for a 17th Nathan’s belt on the Fourth of July this year because he had signed an agreement with another organization.
