Nathan's 2008 July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Contest

The Nathan's International July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Contest is an annual competitive eating competition held at Nathan's Famous Corporation's original and best-known restaurant at the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York. The event is held on July 4, and is regarded as the world's most famous hot dog eating contest and a colorful tradition of Independence Day in the United States. In 2006, over 30,000 spectators attended the event, and an additional 1.5 million households watched it live on ESPN.[1]

The 93rd annual contest was held on July 4, 2008. Six-time champion Takeru "Tsunami" Kobayashi and defending champion Joey Chestnut, were tied with 59 hot dogs eaten after the new ten-minute time limit, but Chestnut prevailed by winning a five-dog "eat off" held immediately after the contest. Both the contest and the eat-off were televised live on ESPN, which has held the broadcast rights for this event since 2004.
