The GOAT of eating is back.

Joey Chestnut returned to the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on Friday after being ineligible last year, and he was back like he never left.

Chestnut downed 70.5 hot dogs and buns for his 17th title in his last 18 events (he lost to Matt Stonie in 2015).

Joey Chestnut was not the only big name back in Coney Island for the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.

The People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) made their presence known outside the Coney Island staple on Friday before Chestnut took the stage.

Members of the organization distributed vegan hot dogs to people along the boardwalk, all while hundreds of Nathan's franks were being prepped for the competitive eaters.
