Joey Chestnut retained the mustard-yellow belt at Coney Island today with a command performance, consuming 68 hot dogs (and buns) in ten minutes and falling just shy of setting a new "official" record.

His technique, of course, is what makes him the King of Franks, so we slowed down five select seconds of his clutch consumption to admire how truly great this American hero is. A shame, then, the powers that be won't let him face off against the world's best. [ESPN]
