The Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, held annually on July 4th, features top competitive eaters. Joey Chestnut, a 16-time champion, was banned in 2024, allowing Pat Bertoletti to win with 58 hot dogs. In 2025, Chestnut returns, and Bertoletti expresses mixed feelings about the rivalry. Bertoletti has set records in other food categories, but Chestnut's dominance in hot dog eating is notable. The competition promises to be exciting, with Bertoletti prepared to defend his title against Chestnut.
"I'm hungry, I'm anxious, I am nervous, but I think I'm ready": Defending champion Pat Bertoletti expresses his mixed feelings about competing against Joey Chestnut again in the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Joey Chestnut has managed to consistently win the competition with an average of over sixty hot dogs sixteen times until his ban in 2024 gave others a chance to shine.
