    JOEY "Jaws" Chestnut, who for eight straight years gobbled up all comers in the famed Nathan's hot dog eating contest in New York, finally met his match on Saturday.

    Chestnut, 31, was defeated by Matt "Megatoad" Stonie, 23, his longtime rival in the niche competitive eating circuit. Stonie devoured 62 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, two more than Chestnut at the hugely popular July 4 contest, held each year on the boardwalk of Brooklyn's Coney Island and broadcast live on television.
