Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Championship
Joey Chestnut
If you’re looking for some competitive eating action, you’ve come to the right place. The Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Championship is an annual event in the United States. Featuring the world’s best cooks and their signature Nathan’s Hot Dogs, the event has become an iconic part of American culture.
Chestnut is one of the top competitors at the event. He has been competing for nine years. He set a record last year of 63 hot dogs and last year he broke it by eating 76. This year’s championship is the first to return to Coney Island after it was re-located to a different venue due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Chestnut has now won the hot dog eating contest for the 14th time. This year’s event was held in Coney Island and he devoured 63 hot dogs in 10 minutes. He won the competition by beating out six-time champion Takeru Kobayashi, who had been the reigning champ last year. Chestnut has also won the competition five times in a row.
Joey Chestnut is the all-time hot dog eater. In 2014, he ate 76 Nathan’s Famous hot dogs in ten minutes. This is a record that won’t be surpassed until the end of the century. Joey Chestnut is an American national treasure, and he shows no signs of slowing down.
In addition to his championship, Chestnut has won the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Championship seven times. In the competition, he had a Darth Vader costume, which made him a formidable opponent. However, a protester rushed the stage with a sign that said, “Expose Smithfield Foods’ Deathstar.” Chestnut grabbed the protester’s neck and pinned it to the stage. The protester was eventually removed by security.
Takeru Kobayashi
Takeru Kobayashi is the six-time winner of the Nathan’s Famous hot dog eating championship, held every July 4th on Coney Island, New York. In 2001, Kobayashi ate 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes, breaking the previous world record of 25. At 5’7″, Kobayashi ate about eight pounds of food in that time. He won the championship again in 2002 with 50 and one-half dogs and in 2004, with 54.
Kobayashi, a 23-year-old from Japan, won the competition after eating fifty hot dogs in 12 minutes. In the subsequent year, Kobayashi went on to break his own record, eating a record-breaking 114 hot dogs in a single sitting. Kobayashi’s competitive eating abilities rely on his physical ability and pace.
However, in 2010, Nathan’s famous had to suspend Kobayashi’s participation in the competition, citing his refusal to sign a contract with the league. The contract would have limited Kobayashi’s participation in other competitions and prevented him from earning money outside of the MLE. He was also banned from participating in Nathan’s Famous contests, and his picture was taken from the company’s Wall of Fame.
In 2001, Kobayashi introduced the “Solomon Method,” which is still commonly used in competitive hot dog eating events today. Using the method, Kobayashi split each hot dog in half and swallowed both halves in one go. He also soaked the bun with liquid before eating it. Most competitors use water or lemonade to do this.
Since then, Kobayashi has become a global celebrity. In 2002, he won the Glutton Bowl eating competition. In 2003, he lost the hot dog eating championship to a Kodiak bear, but in 2006, he regained the title by winning a bratwurst eating championship. In 2007, Kobayashi was the only competitor who had not retired and was the only one to win this event.

World record for hot dog eaters
Miki Sudo is a seven-time Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Championship champion. She is also married to Nick Wehry, who competed in the men’s division. The couple has a one-year-old son named Max. Wehry is the fourth-ranked competitive eater in the world, while Sudo is the reigning women’s champion.
Takeru Kobayashi was born on March 15, 1978, in Nagano, Japan. In 2001, he set the world record by eating fifty hot dogs in 12 minutes, more than doubling the previous record of twenty-one eighths of a dozen. In the following two years, he broke his own record and won the contest six times in a row.
Chestnut also holds the world record for the most hot dogs eaten in a single sitting. In 2010, he devoured 63 dogs in just over ten minutes, beating the second-place finisher by nearly two days. Chestnut also holds the world record for eating certain kinds of fast-food hamburgers, having scoffed 103 Krystal hamburgers in eight minutes.
The World record for hot dog eaters is contested annually at the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. The event is held on the first Independence Day of each year and is sponsored by the Nathan’s Famous Corporation. The contest pits 20 contestants against each other, testing their ability to eat as many hot dogs as possible in a given time.
The competition is held annually in New York City. This year, the number of participants was reduced due to the coronavirus pandemic in the city. Only ten contestants competed in the contest. Chestnut, nicknamed Jaws, set a world record of 75 hot dogs in ten minutes, although he could have eaten even more in that time, with a record of 83 hot dogs in ten minutes.
