Competitive eating champion Joey Chestnut LIVE at Detroit Pistons game (Tues. April 04, 2023) Detroit

Thanks to Detroit News for this:

In the world of Major League Eating, Indiana’s Joey Chestnut is number one.

The 15-time champ of the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest will be in Detroit next week to raise awareness for food insecurity and, of course, to eat.

Chestnut, who holds the world record for most hot dogs eaten (76), will appear during the Piston’s game against Miami Tuesday evening at Little Caesars Arena.

Since this is Detroit, Chestnut, 39, a resident of Westfield, Indiana, he will be downing coney dogs and each one gobbled will represent a donation toward Forgotten Harvest.

Pistons fans are invited to submit a one-minute video for their chance to join Chestnut in the challenge during Tuesday’s game.

Interested fans can submit a video at gf.fan/pistons/joeychestnutcontest until 11 p.m. Wednesday.

On Monday Chestnut will join representatives from the Detroit Pistons and Kroger as they visit Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeast Michigan as part of the Points of Pounds food insecurity initiative.

Chestnut and Pistons forward Marvin Bagley will join them in sorting and packing food for the community.
