Paige Spiranac sends followers wild with hotdog-eating skills after ‘video proof’
Golf influencer Paige Spiranac has offered herself up to replace the prolific hotdog-eating champion Joey Chestnut, sending fans wild with “video proof”.
After it was announced on Tuesday (June 11) that Chestnut had been barred from appearing in the July 4 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest over a brand deal with a competitor, Spiranac volunteered for the annual event and boasted about her own abilities.
“I’m available to fill in. My record is 6.5 hotdogs in 10 minutes,” Spiranac posted on X, in response to the news about Chestnut – a 16-time winner of the fabled competition. The 31-year-old followed it up on Wednesday with “video proof”, with a clip that showed her trying to down as many hot dogs as she could within a 10 minute time frame.

“I have found the video proof. And I lied it was only 6 hotdogs and not 6.5. I might have to try again this July 4th. Thoughts?” Spiranac wrote to her one million followers on X.
Underneath the video, fans flocked to show their appreciation for Spiranac.
One flustered bloke wrote: “It’s like 6am on the west coast. this content shouldn’t be allowed before 8pm.”
“Are those regulation size?” someone else asked, referring to the hot dogs.
“Holy christ,” another wrote.
It comes after hotdog legend Joey Chestnut revealed he was “gutted” when learning he was unable to compete in Nathan’s contest. Chestnut had agreed to a deal to represent Impossible Foods, a brand that recently launched a vegan hot dog – enough to bar him from entering the competition.
“I was gutted to learn from the media that after 19 years Im banned from the Nathan’s July 4th Hot Dog Eating Contest. I love competing in that event, I love celebrating America with my fans all over this great country on the 4th and I have been training to defend my title,” Chestnut wrote Tuesday on X.
