Joey Chestnut from America won the world hot dog eating title today for his second straight title. He beat Japan's Takeru Kobayashi in the process in a clutch performance that was comparable to Michael Jordan.

Kobayashi was the reigning champion from 2001-2006 officially making him a hot dog eating dynasty but all dynasty's must come to and end which it did last year when Chestnut beat him. In this years contest, they were tied at 60 hot dogs after the 10 minute regulation time and so that had to go to a five hot dog eat off.

Chestnut came through with a clutch performance though to take the title. Congrats. You're allowed to go throw up now.
