Patrick Bertoletti from Chicago claimed victory at the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island by consuming 58 hot dogs in 10 minutes, dethroning long-reigning champion Joey Chestnut. Chestnut's absence was due to a sponsorship dispute with Impossible Foods, a rival of Nathan's. In the women's division, Miki Sudo set a new record by eating 51 hot dogs, securing her 10th title. The event, a Fourth of July tradition, showcased competitive eating talents from around the world, with the absence of Chestnut generating heightened national interest in the competition.
