Happy Independence Day! And with this day, comes another great tradition: Joey Chestnut dominating the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.

More importantly, Chestnut broke his own record and ate 69 hot dogs. It was amazing and this is exactly what America is all about. We celebrate great talent, even though the talent is just eating. That’s seven straight wins for Chestnut now.

What a great way to start the day. I’m proud of Chestnut. He has represented SJSU very well!
