Competitive eater Joey “Jaws” Chestnut will take his hot dog-downing talents to an army base in Texas for America’s Independence Day.

Netflix has announced a new hot dog-eating contest between rivals Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayaski.

Organizers of America’s perennial July Fourth hot dog eating contest say the reigning champion won’t compete this year due to a contract dispute.

NEW YORK - Joey "Jaws" Chestnut ate 71 wieners and buns to secure his 12th title at Nathan's Famous annual July Fourth hot dog eating contest on Thursday, just a few hot dogs shy of breaking the record he set last year. Miki Sudo had already won the women's competition by chomping down 31 hot dogs. The 33-year-old fell short of her total last year of 37 frankfurters but earned her sixth consecutive title by easily beating runner-up Michelle Lesco, who wolfed down 26 hot dogs. Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas holds the all-time women's record of 45 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Spectators with foam hot dog hats, plastic noisemakers and homemade signs descended on Coney Island's famed boardwalk for the contest.

Kobayashi told The Associated Press that he uses H2O to train his stomach to expand. "I have to put something inside the stomach to make it expand, but it doesnt necessarily have to be food," Kobayashi explained. I feel so exhausted and so out of breath, Kobayashi told the AP. Derek Jacobs, who first qualified for the Nathan's contest in 2017, told Men's Health he likes to drink a lot of caffeine prior to competing. I mean, there are times when Im not eating buns if Im on a low-carb diet.
