The '''Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest''' is an annual American [[hot dog]] [[competitive eating]] competition. It is held each year on July 4 at [[Nathan's Famous]]' original, and best-known, restaurant at the corner of Surf and [[Stillwell Avenue]]s in [[Coney Island]], a neighborhood of [[Brooklyn]], New York City.

The contest has gained public attention since the mid-2000s due to the stardom of [[Takeru Kobayashi|Takeru "The Tsunami" Kobayashi]] and [[Joey Chestnut]]. The defending men's champion is [[Patrick Bertoletti]], who ate 58 hot dogs in the 2024 contest. The defending women's champion is [[Miki Sudo]], who ate 51 hot dogs in 2024.<ref>{{cite web|author=Ariana Brockington|date=July 4, 2024|title=Patrick Bertoletti, Miki Sudo win Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest|url=https://www.today.com/food/news/hot-dog-eating-contest-winner-2024-rcna160282}}</ref>
