American Joey Chestnut retained his world hot dog eating title today, beating Japan's Takeru Kobayashi in the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island.

Kobayashi had won the event every year from 2001 to 2006 before Chestnut dethroned him last year. Now Chestnut is the champ again, after an epic battle that had to go to a five-dog eat-off after they were tied at 60 hot dogs apiece following the 10 minutes of regulation time.

"It's just incredible," Chestnut said afterward. "It was a little bit messier than I wanted it to be, but I got them in me and I got them down. That's what I wanted to do."

My nephews were trying to convince me that one of them could do it. He thought he could and his brother did too. I mean, the kid can pack it away and all, but... I can't imagine him, me, or any normal human being eating 60 hot dogs in a day let alone 60 in 10 minutes!
