After eight consecutive victories at Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog-Eating Contest, Joey Chestnut has been defeated by Matt "Megatoad" Stonie, 62 dogs to 60, according to the Associated Press. Today's surprise upset in Coney Island marks the most dramatic news in competitive binge-eating since Chestnut defeated the previous longtime victor, Takeru "Tsunami” Kobayashi, in 2007. Said Chestnut after his loss, “I just didn’t find my rhythm," though he sees a silver (stomach) lining as well, "I've been looking for competition for a long time and I finally have it."
