It wouldn't be a Fourth of July without the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Every year, the best women and men in competitive eating head for Coney Island to scarf down as many hot dogs as possible in the span of 10 minutes.
But you don't have to be in New York to watch the competition. You can tune in from the comfort of your own home or whoever's backyard is hosting the Independence Day barbeque this year.

Last year, Chestnut downed 63 hot dogs to retain his crown as the king of Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest for the seventh year in a row. He managed that even though he was disrupted mid-competition by a protestor.
Sudo returned from an absence in 2021 to reclaim her title by putting down 40 hot dogs.
We'll have to see if the two competitive eating legends do it again or if a new challenger shocks the world.
