The fireworks do not start till the sun sets, however the stars will be out early in the Big Apple.
Joey Chestnut and Miki Sudo go back to the Coney Island phase on America’s most patriotic day, indulging on American fare — consuming American-sized parts.
It’s the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on the popular corner of Surf and Stillwell where thousands collect to see the Major League Eating occasion every July 4. Sudo recovered in 2022 after taking the year off due to pregnancy. She didn’t miss out on a beat, recovering her title when again by breathing in 40 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes.

On the males’s side, Chestnut is recuperated from a leg injury that hindered him in 2022. To be frank, it was a frustrating proving by his requirements — just handling 63 hot dogs and buns. That was coming off a record-setting 2021 when Chestnut set the brand-new record of 76 in simply 10 minutes.
The red, white and blue have actually developed a dynasty of winning at the table, so it’s not a surprise that the stars and stripes are preferred to continue their supremacy in 2023.
As typical, there are no garnishes — simply some water and a will to win. The Mustard Belt is on the line, and possibly a collaboration with Pepto Bismol. May the most significant hunger win.
