Joey Chestnut wins 15th Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, Miki Sudo reclaims women's title

38-year-old Joey Chestnut won his seventh consecutive Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest title and 15th overall with a ridiculous 63 hot dogs and buns eaten in 10 minutes. The next-closest competitor consumed just 43 hot dogs. Chestnut's 15th title surpassed Rafael Nadal's 14 French Open title for the most championships in a single event, per ESPN.

Chestnut immediately subdued and threw down a protester after they ran on stage wearing a Darth Vader mask and bumped into Chestnut.

Miki Sudo, who skipped last year's contest because she was pregnant, reclaimed the women's title Monday by eating 40 hot dogs and buns. She gave birth to her son, Max, a few days after last year's competition. It's Sudo's eighth championship since 2014. Sudo, 36, beat 2021 winner Michelle Lesco by 14.

Good for him but they dip those hot dogs in water. I don't consider that competitive eating anymore. It's just competitive swallowing

They dip the buns in water, not the dogs, I think. I agree! They are not eating hot dogs. They are eating the frankfurters and buns separately (and buns that are wet). I'm not sure when that started, the first one to do that, maybe Takeru Kobayashi.

It's probably safer that way since I know people have choked to death eating pancakes. Probably possible to die from hot dog buns too

But if you are not gonna eat foods as normal people do then it feels like cheating. Might as well just put hot dogs in a blender and drink them

My Lady is a Registered Nurse for 27 years now.

Every summer she gets patients that choke themselves on hot dogs. A hot dog is just the perfect size and shape to block the throat.

The only scenario in which this claim could have any measure of truth is if she's actually present at such a contest annually, specifically to monitor that as a possibility. Brain-death from choking on food can occur within 5 minutes, definitely not enough time to get to a hospital's ER, much less a life saving nurse, no matter how close it might be.

It really is a fairly common occurrence.

Ask any RN.

And why are you and I chatting, you ‘despise’ me, remember?

Why post to a guy you hate?

[–] db20db (17754) 3 years ago

And why are you finding it incomprehensible that I would question the credibility of someone I despise? That's a Bizarro World level of thinking.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78604) 3 years ago

You don’t ask me questions old boy.

I’ve told you plenty Of times to steer clear of me…Do you see me ever engaging you?

This is gluttony, not a "sport."

If eSport is a sport, hotdog eating contest is a sport.

He ate 76 last year. Slacker.
