Competitive eating legends Miki Sudo and Joey Chestnut emerged victorious in the 2022 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. Here’s how many hot dogs they ate.
The 38-year-old nicknamed"Jaws" failed to eat at least 70 hot dogs and buns for the first time since 2015 and still had a double-digit advantage over the runner-up. Chestnut, who bested his own world record in 2021 with 76 HDBs, downed 63 HDBs in 10 minutes this time around. He finished 15.5 HDBs ahead of second-place Geoffrey Esper, the world's No. 2-ranked eater.
Chestnut has lost just once since dethroning six-time defending champ Takeru Kobayashi for his first victory in 2007. That lone defeat came in 2015, when Matt Stonie edged out Chestnut by two HDBs. The closest anyone has come to beating him since then was in 2017 when Carmen Cincotti finished in second place by 10 HDBs.
Sudo, meanwhile, reclaimed the Mustard Belt in her return to the women's contest. Sudo, the No. 1-ranked eater among women and No. 3 overall, saw her streak of seven straight Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest wins come to an end last year as she sat out of the event due to pregnancy.
