Chestnut takes hot dog title

Joey Chestnut captured the famed mustard belt on Independence Day as he bested six-time defending champion Takeru Kobayashi at the annual Nathan's hot dog eating competition on Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York.

Chestnut bested his own world record by wolfing down a world-record 66 dogs. Kobayashi ate 63 hot dogs but faltered in the final minute.
