Who Won the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest
The Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest is held annually at Nathan's Famous in Coney Island, Brooklyn. The men's and women's champions are determined by how many hot dogs and buns consumed in 10 minutes. Results are tracked by Major League Eating and reported by organizers and news outlets.
