Is it really a July 4th celebration without the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating competition? Most would say no, and luckily for all the viewers, the greatest competitor is returning to the stage.
Joey Chestnut is back after skipping the 2024 competition. He's the all-time leader in contest wins (16) and holds the record for most hot dogs eaten in a single contest (76).
Before Chestnut takes the stage, the women's contest takes place. Miki Sudo is the headliner, as she's won 10 of the last 11 contests and three straight. The only competition she didn't win was in 2021; she didn't compete while she was pregnant.
