Joey Chestnut devoured 63 hot dogs and bread in 10 minutes to win the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, expanding his record to 15 career titles in New York on Monday. ..
Kuri, 38, ate at a much slower pace than last year and ate 76 hot dogs and bread to break the record. He competed despite his leg injury causing him pain and forced him to wear protective boots.
He still comfortably avoided Jeffrey Esper, the second-placed competitive eater in Major League Eating, who finished second in 47 1/2 dogs and bread.
Protesters rushed into the stage in the middle of the contest, and Chestnut helped choke on unwelcome guests while continuing to eat.
Miki Sudo ate 40 dogs and bread in 10 minutes and won her eighth female championship in her career, a female record. Sudo was pregnant, so she returned to the tournament after she sat down in 2021.
2021 female champion Michelle Lesco finished second at the age of 26.
