Joey Chestnut Wins His 17th Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest With 70 (And A Half) Wieners


Joey Chestnut regained his top dog title today by consuming 70.5 wieners at the 2025 Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, Brooklyn.

Chestnut’s victory comes after his one-year ban from the contest – he was not allowed to compete last year after he partnered with Nathan’s competitor Impossible Foods. Prior to the contest, Chestnut told ESPN that his goal was to down more than 80 dogs at the annual competition. Eleven-time women’s champ Miki Sudo won that division again today, eating 33 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
