Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest

Since 1916, Nathan's flagship restaurant on Coney Island has hosted this gut-busting competitive-eating showdown. Reigning champions Joey Chestnut and Miki Sudo return to Coney Island to defend their 2016 titles after wolfing down 70 and 38.5 franks, respectively, in just 10 minutes. Will Joey beat his world record of 73 hot dogs consumed or will a new contender rise up to the challenge and head home with the champion’s belt and a full stomach? All ages.
