Joey Chestnut gives behind-the-scenes look at ‘hungry’ prep for Nathan’s return

Competitive eater Joey Chesnut eats up the chance for some Q&A with Post columnist Steve Serby ahead of the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on Sunday, which Chesnut has won 16 times.

Q: What is so great about a Nathan’s hot dog?

A: Oh my gosh, it’s a 100-year-old recipe — more than that now — it’s good from the start. There’s no reason to change something that isn’t broken. It really is a unique taste, an all-beef hot dog, natural tasting … it’s simple, but it’s delicious.
