In a decisive chowdown comeback, record-holder Miki Sudo won the women's title at the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest Monday after skipping last year's frank fest because she was pregnant.
“I knew I was excited to come back, but the feeling that you get once you’re actually here is not like anything else,” Sudo said on ESPN after downing 40 wieners and buns in 10 minutes. That was short of her 2020 record, but still well ahead of runner-up Michelle Lesco, the 2021 winner.
