Joey Chestnut wins 2025 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest [View all]
Chestnut quickly pulled ahead of the pack and finished with 70.5 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. Defending champion Patrick Bertoletti came in second with 46.5, followed by James Webb with 45.5.
"I was excited, I love being here. Man, I wish I ate a couple more, I'm sorry guys, but I'll be back next year," he said after the competition.
Chestnut set an unofficial world record with 83 hot dogs and buns during an unrelated competition last year, but that wasn't sanctioned by Major League Eating.
On the women's side, reigning champion Miki Sudo earned her 11th win Friday, eating 33 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes.
