Joey Chestnut Wins 17th Nathan's Hot Dog Contest Return
Joey Chestnut reclaimed his title at the 2025 Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest, consuming 70.5 hot dogs and buns to secure his 17th championship after missing the 2024 event due to a sponsorship-related ban. Chestnut’s dominant performance outpaced runner-up Patrick Bertoletti by more than 20 hot dogs, although he fell short of his 2021 record of 76 hot dogs. The ban in 2024 was linked to Chestnut’s endorsement deal with Impossible Foods, a plant-based competitor, which conflicted with the contest's governing body. Chestnut expressed determination to improve and compete again next year, having previously eaten 83 hot dogs in a separate 2024 event. On the women’s side, Miki Sudo continued her winning streak by capturing her 11th title with 33 hot dogs. Chestnut’s victory highlights his longstanding dominance in competitive eating, having won nearly every Nathan’s contest he has entered since 2007.
