Matt Stonie tops Joey Chestnut in hot dog eating contest

NEW YORK (AP) — Matt Stonie shocked the competitive eating world on Saturday by upsetting Joey "Jaws" Chestnut at the Fourth of July hot dog eating contest at Nathan's Famous in Coney Island, breaking Chestnut's bid for a ninth straight victory. Early in the contest, Chestnut seemed to have a slight edge but Stonie moved ahead after several minutes and seemed to be slowly extending his lead until the final bell. The spectacle also included a few chanting animal welfare protesters bearing anti-meat signs adorned with fake blood. Security included police dogs that apparently were not thrown off by the scent of the grilled meat, along with police officers on rooftops.
