Patrick Bertoletti captured the men’s crown in the absence of Joey Chestnut while Miki Sudo won for the 10th time on the women’s side.
Patrick Bertoletti capitalized on the absence of Joey Chestnut to win the Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest. In the absence of perennial champion Joey Chestnut, a new men’s winner took center stage at Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest while, on the women’s side, Miki Sudo marched on, winning for the 10th time with a record-breaking performance.
“Always the bridesmaid, never the bride,” Bertoletti laughed as he spoke to ESPN about his first win, “but today I’m getting married. … Always second or third, this is big.”“There was an urgency. With Joey not here, I knew I had a shot. I was able to unlock something that I don’t know where it came from, but I’m not complaining.”Sudo, a 38-year-old mom from Tampa who is studying to be a dental hygienist, downed 51 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, bettering the record 48.5 she consumed in 2020.
His absence was first reported last month, when he announced that he had signed with a “plant-based firm” while negotiating a contract with Nathan’s. The Impossible deal does not prohibit him from entering eating competitions, including Nathan’s, but an agreement binding competitors in MLE events decrees otherwise. George Shea, chair and co-founder of MLE, told The Post that competitors may “not represent a rival hot dog brand.
