It’s too early to tell if the annual hot dog eating competition will be canceled, but the world champion is staying prepared.
was asked how he’s staying ready to compete while he’s stuck at home in San Jose.
“It’s kind of easy,” he answered. “I just do a normal once a week cheat day. So I try to eat healthy during the week, and once a week, I do a big massive stretch [of the stomach] with whatever I can. Last weekend, I did eight pounds of cucumbers. I’m trying to maintain a healthy diet, but I still love to do a big cheat day once a week. It’s not like a team sport…. I feel like I'll be ready when contests start.
The event is always on July 4, so at this point, Chestnut says “nobody knows” about the status of the world’s best-known eating competition. “There’s so many things being canceled, I wouldn’t be surprised if the contest was canceled. But Fourth of July is still going to happen.” With that in mind, when asked, Chestnut said that an event without fans wouldn’t be off the table for him. “I think even if there isn’t a huge crowd, I know people are watching,” he said. “It would suck not to do it in front of a huge crowd, but there'd still be people watching and I'll still be able to make people happy, I guess. And, I'd push myself to a ridiculous limit.
Regardless, Chestnut said that, for Nathan’s, the hot dog contest is probably the last thing on their minds right now. “They're donating tons of hot dogs and making sure the people in their community are being taken care of,” he told TMZ,” so they’re not really worried about an eating contest right now.”
