Nathan’s Famous: How Joey Chestnut Made a Fake Contest a National Obsession

Nathan’s Famous: How Joey Chestnut Made a Fake Contest a National Obsession

🌭 Nathan’s Famous: The Hot Dog Empire with a Big Secret 🌭

This week, we dive mouth-first into the greasy, glorious history of Nathan’s Famous, the iconic hot dog brand that gave us Al Capone’s favorite beach snack, a gluttonous holiday tradition, and the most American sporting event of all time: the Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest.

From shady police bribes to feeding royalty to Joey Chestnut’s triumphant return after an Impossible controversy, this episode covers over a century of beef, buns, and barfing-for-glory. Joining me is comedian Marty Cunnie (who saw Chestnut live in action!! I'm fangirling).

🍺 A President Served Nathan’s to the Queen of England
💵 Bribing Cops Was Just Good Business
📉 The Hot Dog Eating Contest Origins Are a Complete Lie
🏆 Joey Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Wrestling Vibes & Wet Buns
🇺🇸 Chestnut Returns for His 17th Mustard Belt
📺 Netflix’s “Unfinished Beef” Wasn't Canon
😬 Coney Island: Hot Dogs, Broken Glass, & Weird Tits
🏠 Marty’s Dream Restaurant Is Just His 3AM Apartment

💬 COMMENT BELOW: How many hot dogs is too many?
