Joey Chestnut defeats Kobayashi in a hot dog eating contest in Las Vegas

Joey Chestnut and his old enemy Takeru Kobayashi went head-to-head in a hot dog eating contest for the first time in 15 years… with Joey winning in a landslide and setting a record in the process.

The rivals came together on Monday in “Unfinished Beef,” a Netflix special live from Las Vegas, and stuffed their faces with sausages and sandwiches… as a huge crowd cheered them on.

Joey rode to victory…in the lead. When the 10-minute timer expired, Joey’s total was 83 hot dogs… compared to a grand total of 66 for Kobayahsi.

It’s a new world record for Joey… who took home a hot dog trophy and a wrestling belt, along with Kobayashi bragging rights.

The showdown has been 15 years in the making… Joey and Kobayashi last squared off in 2009, during the traditional Nathan’s match at Coney Island… when Jaws defeated Kobayashi to defend his mustard belt.

Rob Riggle And NikkiBella hosted the event … Nikki’s first time in public since her husband, “Dancing With the Stars” went pro Artem Chigvintsevwas arrested Thursday for domestic violence.

Nikki, who got a lot of love out of the crowd, didn’t wear her wedding ring… and didn’t let the incident affect her job.

Joey’s winning margin even grew after the buzzer… with Kobayashi deducted one hot dog, dropping from 67 to 66 after all his sausage and bun crumbles were weighed.

The rules for this required you not to dunk hot dogs in water… and Joey says he had to learn a whole new way to gobble up glizzies.
