Joey Chestnut destroys competition, nearing record with 70.5 wieners - The eating contest has been a July 4th tradition for over 50 years

Joey Chestnut got more than the Mustard Belt for his victory at the 2025 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. He will pocket $10,000, as will women’s champion Miki Sudo. For Chestnut, that worked out to be about $142 for each hot dog and bun he consumed, eating total of 70½ during the annual 10-minute contest in Coney Island, New York.
