Will Joey Chesnut break his own record and manage to eat 70 Nathan’s hot dogs in ten minutes tomorrow at noon? Will Sonya “The Leader of the Four Horsemen of the Esophagus” Thomas prevail and keep her vaunted title for another year? If you answered “maybe” and/or “probably” to either or both of these questions, here’s your official reminder that our annual, hallowed celebration of PR magic and gluttonous ruin will live-stream online here and here tomorrow. The Coney Island showdowns begin at 11:25 a.m. sharp (that’s EST), and meanwhile, BuzzFeed goes way, way long on competitive eating’s most famous outcast, Takeru Kobayashi, who is now alternating between being a pay-for-play party guest and a full-fledged rock star.
