Last year everyone was talking about Matt Stonie's UNDEFEATED year, and beating Joey Chestnut in the July 4th Nathan's hot dogs, to end the 8-year winning streak.
But Chestnut got his revenge this year, and the big news has been the emergence of Carmen Cincotti.
Finally he got his first victory over 'Jaws', after 2nd places in pork rolls, poutine, pumpkin pie, and chili (and moon pies to Stonie) in the last month, in the very hotdog-like bratwurst event.

Edging him out 101 to 100 (new world record).
