Cooking outdoors, setting off fireworks, and watching people stuff their mouths with as many icky, soggy hot dogs as they can. The infamous and repulsive Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest is back for the Fourth of July.
Joey Chestnut is the undisputed winner of the men’s tournament, as he has been for the previous fifteen years. Since his initial victory in 2007, Chestnut has only lost once, and he seems to be growing better. He beat the previous record he set in 2020 by one by eating 76 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes last year, breaking it.
If you want to consider eating hot dogs as a sport and the participants as athletes, no other athlete has dominated a single sport for as long Jaws has. Think C. Ronaldo winning the Golden Boot in the EPL for 15 years.
While Chestnut is the featured name, a legend is making a comeback in the women’s competition in 2022. After missing the competition in 2021 due to pregnancy, Miki Sudo is back.
With 48.5 hot dogs with buns, Sudo presently holds the female world record and has won seven of the last eight competitions.
In all honesty, Michele Lasco, who took home the award with a score of 30.25 last year, won because Sudo chose not to compete. It is inconceivable that anyone from outside of Sudo will challenge in the women’s draw.

Participants have ten minutes to eat as many hot dogs and buns as they can. Water is provided to them so they can drink, dip, or drench themselves.

Chestnut, who said his injury wouldn’t affect his performance, used crutches to go to the official weigh-in for the competition on Friday.
“I’m gonna eat like a madman. It’s all right. I’ll be able to stand up and eat. I’m excited.”
Chestnut told Fox News Digital.
