Chestnut Reigns Again at Nathan's | Toledo News

Joey Chestnut crushed it again, devouring 66 hot dogs in 10 minutes under brutal 100-degree heat to claim his 18th Nathan’s title — and his personal record is now safely out of reach. Miki Sudo matched her dominance with a 12th win, swallowing 38.75 hot dogs. Chestnut’s comeback after skipping 2024 due to sponsorship drama was flawless, reclaiming the Mustard Belt and extending his streak since 2015. Sudo, ever consistent, missed only one contest — her pregnancy break. Both walked away with $10K each from the $40K prize pool, proving that under extreme conditions, only the truly elite can stomach the heat — and the food.
