- The 2022 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Content returns to Coney Island on Monday.
- Joey “Jaws” Chestnut seeks his record 15th Mustard Belt, and his 15th in 16 years.
- Miki Sudo was on maternity leave last year but will be back for her record eighth title.
On Monday, the 2022 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest returns to Coney Island; and two of the all-time greats of competitive eating; will try to break their previous records. Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, who will be using crutches to eat due to a damaged tendon; aims to shatter his previous record of 76 hot dogs and buns (HDBs); while going for his record-tying 15th Mustard Belt and 15th in 16 years.
Despite being on maternity leave the previous year; Miki Sudo will return for the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest in 2022; in an effort to win a record-breaking eighth championship and surpass her previous record of 48.5 HDBs; achieved in 2020.
The occasion took place at Maimonides Park, home of the Brooklyn Cyclones; but it will soon make a comeback to Coney Island following a two-year hiatus; due to the pandemic. Chestnut lost against Matt Stonie 62-60 in 2015, upsetting him; but the 38-year-old has since devoured at least 70 HDBs annually.
