He ate 63 hot dogs and buns during last year’s win.
Miki Sudo has been nearly as dominant in the women’s competition, winning eight titles. She’ll aim to top her record of 48.5 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes.
In 2022, Sudo ate 40 hot dogs and buns for the victory.
Where is it held?
The competition is held every year at the Nathan’s Famous restaurant in Coney Island.
