Don’t mess with Joey Chestnut when he’s trying to eat some hotdogs.
Because even a protester in a Darth Vader mask couldn’t keep Chestnut from winning the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest for the 15th time.
During the annual hot dog eating event on July 4 at Coney Island in New York, Chestnut was downing his 18th hot dog when protesters took to the stage. One protester — who was wearing a Darth Vader mask and holding an “Expose Smithfield Deathstar” sign — bumped into the competitive eater, NBC Sports reported. Chestnut proceeded to wrap his arm around the protester’s neck and slam him to the ground.
According to reports, the masked person is presumably an animal rights activist.
Right after the chaos, Chestnut went on to eat 46 more hot dogs and earn the championship title. Unfortunately, the competitive food legend was unable to break the record of 76 hot dogs and sandwiches, which he set at the 2021 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Chestnut is currently ranked No. 1 in the world by Major League Eating. He won his first Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest in 2007 defeating Taer “Tsunami” Kobayashi.
Here’s the full video of what happened:

Do not mess with Joey Chestnut! Do not mess with a man while he’s in the zone. That protester had absolutely no idea what hit him.
He was in a headlock before he could even realize what was going on. I believe that’s what people call instant karma.
