New champ crowned in Nathan’s 99th Annual Hot Dog Eating contest

#nathanshotdog #megatoad #joeychestnut Matthew “Megatoad” Stonie devoured 62 hot dogs and buns in just 10 minutes at Nathan’s 99th annual International Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island and seized the crown from the reigning champion Joey Chestnut who could consume only 60.
This has been reported in myfoxny.com dated 5 July 2015.

Nathan's was set up way back in 1916 by Polish immigrant Nathan Handwerker. It seems he had begun with a nickel hot dog stand on Coney Island with a $300 loan from two friends and his wife’s secret spice recipe. And, today, he has a flourishing business.
Nathan's is a huge brand with restaurants across the globe, products in every supermarket in America and millions of fans and, most importantly, the first Coney Island restaurant is still there today.
