Joey Chestnut picked up his 16th Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest win on Tuesday at Coney Island in the New York City borough of Brooklyn holding off James Webb and Geoffrey Esper in the men’s field.
Chestnut devoured 62 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
He set the record for most hot dogs eaten in 10 minutes with 76 in 2021. He had 63 in last year’s contest.
hestnut got off to a hot start, eating five hot dogs and buns within the first 30 seconds. With 5 minutes remaining in the contest, Chestnut ate about 40 hot dogs and buns. At one point, he was eating nearly seven hot dogs per minute.
Esper finished in second place with 49 and Webb had 47.
The contest was delayed two hours due to storms moving through the area. It was first thought the event was going to be canceled but the competitors persevered and at the first sight of sun, they got out to the stage and started their journey one glizzy at a time.
Earlier in the day, Miki Sudo secured her ninth victory at the hot dog eating contest. She put down 39.5 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes and narrowly defeated Mayo Ebihara. The Japan native was only six hot dogs and buns behind Sudo with 33.

Gold medal in gluttony.
Sorry, but I find that to be gross, not to mention dangerous.
Don’t try this at home, kids. These people are professionals.
And did proud trans woman Josephine Chestnut later win the women’s one?
A true champion. He trains hard for that.
AMERICA is back!!
Apparently not as dangerous as the "storms moving through the area" that delayed the contest for two hours.

Well, if he wants to do it, that's his business. It's not harming anyone else.
Me, I might eat two hot dogs, three if I were really hungry.
That’s not something I’d want to watch very closely.
I used to think it was interesting, now, more of a turn off.
To each his own Quadruple-Burger. There must still be a lot of fans for this spectator sport or there wouldn’t be so many sponsors.
I guess wet hot dogs slow down the contest. They almost had a rain out.
Don’t try this at home, kids. These people are professionals.
