The Hot Dog Eating Contest
Nathan’s Famous hot dogs. The world’s top competitive eaters. Ten minutes to glory. It all goes down on the Fourth of July at the corner of Surf and Stillwell.
2020’s Mustard Belt Victories
Both Chestnut and Sudo had record-breaking performances at this year’s International Hot Dog Eating Contest. Although Joey “Jaws” Chestnut’s fiercest competitors, Matt Stonie and Geoffrey Esper, were unable to attend this year, Joey set a new world record and, for a thirteenth time, claimed the mustard belt with 75 hot dogs!
On the women’s side, Miki Sudo stands in a class of her own and proved so again. Miki is now a seven-time Mustard Belt champion AND the new women’s world record holder at 48.5 hot dogs in 10 minutes!
Congratulations to all our 2020 contestants!
