Joey Chestnut is back and Miki Sudo never left. The greatest man and woman in hot dog eating history are both competing at the 2025 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Chestnut is returning from a one-year ban to try and win his mustard yellow belt back from 2024 champion Pat Bertoletti. Chestnut had won 16 of the previous 17 contests. In the women's contest Sudo, coming off a record 51 hot dogs last year, is looking for her 11th title in 12 years.
