Joey Chestnut's Quest for Hot Dog Eating Supremacy

Competitive eaters from around the world are set to challenge reigning champions Joey Chestnut and Miki Sudo at the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4. Chestnut, aiming for his 16th title, has lost only once since 2007, while Sudo, seeking her ninth title, has been dominant in the women's competition since 2014. Despite the international competition, the American champions are expected to maintain their dominance.
