He downed 70 hot dogs--the most ever eaten in the competition--to win the competition after losing the title in 2015.

He shocked the world in 2007 when he won the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest to dethrone Takeru Kobayashi. He went on to win the July 4th contest the next seven years for a total of eight straight victories. Among the foods he holds world records for are steak (4.5 pounds, plus sides, in 8 minutes, 52 seconds), hot dogs (69 in 10 minutes), and bratwursts (70 in 10 minutes).

Chestnut will be on hand to for a free autograph session at their game date as well as an exclusive pre-game VIP Meet-and-Greet.
