Joey Chestnut Takes On Minnesota’s Biggest Hot Dog

Known as the “Land of 10,000 Calories,” this hot dog is more than just long, it’s loaded with flavor and over-the-top toppings. It comes piled high with mac and cheese, pulled pork, bacon, jalapeños, and BBQ sauce. On the side are french fries and jalapeño poppers tucked on each end of the bun, plus four 20-ounce drinks to wash it down.

It takes the CHS Field food crew about 45 minutes to make just one of these massive creations, and they can only make about five per game.

Chestnut, alongside fellow competitive eater Notorious B.O.B., powered through the entire feast in just 28 minutes and 49 seconds, to the cheers of the crowd.
