Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest 2025 kicks off today in Coney Island, Brooklyn
Briefly

Joey Chestnut is competing in the 2025 Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest after missing the previous year's event due to a ban. The contest is a Fourth of July tradition in New York City, featuring 15 men and 13 women vying for the title and a cash prize. Chestnut, the all-time record holder with 76 hot dogs consumed in 10 minutes, aims to reclaim his championship title. Meanwhile, reigning champion Miki Sudo set a new women's record with 51 hot dogs eaten.
"Part of me wishes [Bertoletti] was a jerk. It would motivate me harder, but I love him... I'm gonna drop the hammer, and he's gonna get annihilated."
"It felt great last year. I never thought I'd ever win Nathan's, the contest, but it didn't feel complete without Joey there, so he's back this year and it's better."
