Are you hungry? If you’re craving hot dogs this July Fourth, check out the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. Every year on July 4, the best competitive eaters in the world flock to Coney Island near Brooklyn, New York, to inhale hot dogs at a lightning pace. Besides bragging rights, the male winner wins a mustard-yellow belt, and the female winner earns a pink belt.

In news that shook the competitive eating world to its core, 16-time champion Joey Chestnut will not compete in this year’s contest. Because of his sponsorship deal with Impossible Foods, Chestnut has been banned from the 2024 competition. Chestnut had won eight straight competitions dating back to 2016. Miki Sudo is the two-time defending champion for females.
