In an interview with TMZ Sports, Chesnut was asked if he'd be willing to do a food contest that fits with the quarterback's diet method. Since he's a champion competitive eater, Chestnut said he'd be up to the challenge.

However, when asked about one of the quarterback's favorite foods, avocado ice cream, Chestnut is clearly not a fan, saying:

"It's not the best," "It's better than other weird ice creams like garlic ice cream."

Chestnut seems confident about his chances against the Buccaneer:

"I don't know what he can out-eat me in. It would be awesome to eat against him in any food."

Brady is currently preparing for the 2022 season, so a hot dog-eating competition may not be on the cards just yet. He intends to lead the Buccaneers to another Super Bowl victory before probably calling time on his career.

The quarterback signed a huge broadcasting deal with Fox Sports this offseason. The ten-year $375 million deal will start when he retires from the NFL. He has also indicated that he would be interested in producing movies one day.

Whenever the 44-year-old quarterback does decide to call it a career, hot dog-eating could be one of his next moves.
