If you thought something like a pandemic was going to keep Joey Chestnut down then you were sadly mistaken.

Not only is a pandemic not going to slow him down, Joey Chestnut is going to rise above and beyond to reach record breaking heights.

That makes the 13th time in the last 14 years that Chestnut has taken home the Mustard Yellow Belt.  Take that COVID-19.
