If ESPN wants to gain back the viewers it will be missing due to Joey Chestnut’s absence at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, they can get them all back with a quick call.
The 16-time champion is currently barred from the competition after inking a deal with Impossible Foods, a rival of Nathan’s, which has long sponsored the Fourth of July spectacle.
Of course, it’s impossible to replace the GOAT, whose 76 dogs and buns from the 2021 contest remain a world record.
But Paige Spiranac is up for the challenge.
“I’m available to fill in,” the influencer said on X, formerly Twitter.
She then wrote that her “record is 6.5 hotdogs in 10 minutes.” Funny enough, someone replied, “We’d all watch.” That response, at the time of publishing, was at over 150 likes.
Ask and you shall receive.
Spiranac posted earlier Wednesday the “video proof” of her all-time record.
