Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi appeared on NBC's Today Show this morning to promote their hot dog eating contest in Las Vegas on Netflix on September 2. I think this is Kobayashi's first public appearance in the United States since a September 2019 charity burger eating contest in Miami. Joey Chestnut also appeared on the Bob & Tom Show today. He said that Kobayashi requested a ban on dunking hot dogs in water and also hints that there will be undercard eating competitions before the main event.
