So yeah, Joey Chestnut has been banned from the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest on the Fourth of July at Coney Island. This happened because Joey had signed an endorsement deal with Impossible Foods which apparently makes a plant based hot dog.
Nathan’s had no choice but to ban him. If Joey had lost the contest this year, people would say that it was because he prefers the Impossible dogs. Nathan’s couldn’t take that risk. I suppose Impossible could have their own contest. But what if Joey doesn’t win that contest? Then what?
It’s pretty simple. Joey, you ruined it for yourself and for all of us. As to your future, you may be reduced to competing at poorly lighted barnstorming events as a carnival geek or maybe hanging out at buffets and challenging people to eating contests. And the all you can eat crab legs at Red Lobster is no longer an option Joe.
Say it ain’t so, Joey. Say it ain’t so.
