Mayor Eric Adams is calling for an end to the dispute that will keep Joey Chestnut from competing in this year's Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.
"Stop being such weenies! It would be 'impossible to have this year's Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest without Joey Chestnut," the mayor said on social media.
Chestnut has won the contest 16 years in a row, but isn't competing this year because of a deal he has with the vegan meat company Impossible Foods.
"Let's find a way to squash this beef and bring back the champ for another 4th of July at Coney Island!" Adams said.
