After legendary competitive eater Joey Chestnut and Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest parted ways after an apparent impasse this week that followed Chestnut’s decision to partner with Impossible Foods for the the launch of the company’s plant-based hot dog, another worthy contender has thrown her hat into the ring.
On Wednesday, former pro golfer turned influencer Paige Spiranac offered to take Chestnut’s place in the competition, and even showed off her own hot dog-eating skills.
The newly-minted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model posted a five-minute to video to social media with a plate of dogs on a table in front of her, wearing a patriotic, cleavage-bearing blue top adorned with white stars.
“I have found the video proof,” the 31-year-old captioned the video. “And I lied it was only six hotdogs and not 6.5. I might have to try again this July 4th. Thoughts?”
