Chestnut and Sudo Return for Hot Dog Throne | Toledo News

Joey Chestnut and Miki Sudo are back to defend their titles in the 53rd Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, set for July 4th in Coney Island — and despite a recent legal hiccup, Chestnut’s probation doesn’t stop him from competing. With Chestnut holding the all-time record at 76 hot dogs and Sudo at 51, this year’s showdown promises fireworks, especially since it’s the first since Nathan’s was acquired by Smithfield Foods. Tune in live: women’s contest at 10:45 AM ET on the ESPN App, men’s at noon ET on ESPN2, with ABC simulcasting at 12:30 PM ET — and don’t forget, ESPN App subscribers get exclusive close-up cams on the action.
