After organizers for Nathans Famous Fourth of July hot dog-eating contest said Joey Chestnut wouldnt compete this year because of a deal with a rival brand, Netflix swiftly announced a new hot dog-eating competition that will feature Chestnut and his fiercest rival.

Chestnut, a 16-time hot dog-eating champion, will face off with his frequent Nathans competitor, Takeru Kobayashi , in a live Netflix special on Sept. 2, the streamer announced Wednesday.

The contest, titled Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef, will feature the two chowing down on all-beef hot dogs, likely in a nod to reports that Chestnuts rival brand deal is with Impossible Foods, which makes plant-based hot dogs.
