Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest is expected to draw thousands to Coney Island’s boardwalk on Wednesday for the 102nd annual showdown. Joey Chestnut, the contest’s 72-dog record holder, has won 10 of the past 11 competitions and will be back to defend his title. However, newcomer Carmen Cincotti is eyeing an epic upset. Cincotti has been ranked No. 2 in Major League Eating, and has been goading Chestnut with his practice runs of 70 hot dogs.
