Joey Chestnut Wins 12th Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest

Joey Chestnut captured his 12th Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest on another beautiful 4th of July. 

I consider Joey Chestnut to be an American treasure and a true American sports dynasty. 

Joey "Jaws" Chestnut managed to eat 71 hot dogs in 10 minutes. He fell short of breaking his own record of 74 hot dogs in 10 minutes he set back in 2018. That was still 21 hot dogs better than the 2nd place winner Darron Breeden who ate 50 hot dogs.
