With their respective victories, Sudo has 11 wins in the event and Chestnut has 17 wins under his belt.
Sudo noted that she felt like the buns were more willing than usual in Friday’s contest. She cleared 51 hot dogs in the 2024 competition, with 33 marking her lowest showing since her 31-frank effort in 2019.
Chesnut was famously absent from the 2024 competition due to accepting an Impossible Foods sponsorship deal that Nathan’s took issue with. His victory marks a reclaimation of his title.
Here are the top women’s totals:
- Miki Sudo – 33
- Michelle Lesco – 22.75
- Domenica Dee – 21.5
Here are the top men’s totals:
- Joey Chestnut – 70.5
- Patrick Bertoletti – 46.5
- James Webb – 45.5
The main competitions are now available to watch on YouTube via ESPN’s channels. We’ve embedded them in this article above.
