Joey Chestnut returning to Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest
Here's some news you'll relish: Joey Chestnut will return to the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest this year. Chestnut, who had been the reigning and defending 16-time hot dog eating champion, did not compete in last year's contest due to his partnership with Impossible Foods, a rival company that makes plant-based hot dogs.

That made it a golden opportunity for Patrick Betoletti of Chicago, who won the coveted Yellow Mustard Belt last year by eating 58 hot dogs and buns. He entered last year's competition as the #9 ranked eater in the world, according to Major League Eating, but emerged as the champion.

She's won every year since 2014 with the exception of 2021, which she sat out due to pregnancy. Winners get a $20,000 cash prize. Chestnut still holds the all-time record of 76 hot dogs and buns, which he set in 2021. The annual competition has been held at Nathan's Famous at Surf and Stillwell Avenues since 1916.
