My only question is how come Chestnut doesn't weigh about 500 pounds by now.

No kidding. They said he ate salmon and something then fasted before. He beats some big ol boys. And the contenders are smallish, too.

I've, like, totally eaten more hot dogs than that at one time!

Some fun facts about the 2018 contest:
• There was some controversy about the scoring. They announced Chestnut as the winner with 64 hot dogs & buns eaten, but Joey claimed he had eaten 74. They found that someone has miscounted his empty plates (10 dogs each) and upped his count to the record-breaking 74. Various reports have the second place guy, Carmen Cincotti, at 63 or 64, so Joey would have tied him or still beaten him without the 7th empty plate. Had his count remained at 64, he still would have beaten the third place guy, Darron Breeden, by 21 dogs.
• In one article, they said that Nathan's sells their original hot dog for $4.95. That means that Joey consumed $366.30 worth of hot dogs in 10 min.
• In a different article, they said that according to Nathan’s hot dog nutritional info, each hot dog with bun has 24 grams of carbs. 74 dogs * 24g = 1776 grams of carbs. Quite appropriate for the 4th of July!

The first Nathan's hot dogs cost 5 cents.

The first Nathan's hot dogs probably also contained actual meat.

Actually, since that was before the Pure Food and Drug Act, today's probably have more meat.
