Bad news hot dog fans ... the greatest hot dog eating competition in the world is in danger of being canceled over the coronavirus.
"Last week, I did like 8 pounds of cucumbers," Joey said ..."I feel like I'll be ready when the contest starts."
We reached out to Major League Eating -- and they told us they're still monitoring the situation. In other words, no official decision yet., Chestnut says he's 100% willing to put on a solo eating show for America, as long as he can get the wieners and the proper medical support staff in place. "It would suck not to do it in front of a huge crowd, but there'll still be people watching and I'll still be able to make people happy, I guess. And, I'd push myself to a ridiculous limit."
As for Nathan's, Joey says their focus isn't on the competition right now -- they're trying to do their part in helping the community.
