Daily News | Joey Chestnut, Miki Sudo big favorites to win 2023 Nathan’s hot dog eating contests
On the corner of Surf and Stillwell avenues in Coney Island, N.Y., is the backdrop of one of the most iconic Fourth of July celebrations: the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog eating contest.
A contest that dates back to 1916, this year’s competition is set to begin later this morning outside the original Nathan’s location on Coney Island, with roughly 20 contestants competing for both the men’s and women’s hot dog and bun eating titles. Last year, 15-time men’s champion Joey Chestnut scarfed down 63 hot dogs, a year after devouring a contest-record 76 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes.
On the women’s wide, Miki Sudo has been dominant over the last decade in the event. She reclaimed her title last year after missing 2021 because of pregnancy, eating 40 hot dogs to win her eighth contest since 2014. She also holds the world record for eating six hot dogs in a minute.It should come as no surprise that Sudo and Chestnut enter today as the favorites. Here’s a look at their betting odds ahead of this morning and afternoon’s festivities.
