Competitive eating legends Joey Chestnut and Miki Sudo dominated the 2022 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Chestnut has lost just once since dethroning six-time defending champ Takeru Kobayashi for his first victory in 2007. That lone defeat came in 2015, when Matt Stonie edged out Chestnut by two HDBs. The closest anyone has come to beating him since then was in 2017 when Carmen Cincotti finished in second place by 10 HDBs.
Sudo, meanwhile, reclaimed the Mustard Belt in her return to the women's competition. The No. 1-ranked eater among women and No. 3 overall, Sudo saw her streak of seven straight Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest wins come to an end last year as she sat out of the event due to pregnancy. Michelle Lesco, the No. 2-ranked eater among women and No. 9 overall, won in Sudo's absence but didn't come close to a repeat. The 36-year-old Sudo, who set the women's record in 2020 by eating 48.5 HDBs, consumed 40 HDBs in 10 minutes for a record-extending eighth women's title.
Lesco finished in second place with 26 HDBs eaten. It was the fourth time Sudo and Lesco, who are friends and former roommates, finished first and second, respectively, in the contest. Sudo , Lesco and Sonya Thomas are the only winners of the women’s event since it debuted in 2011. Women and men competed in the same contest prior to 2011.
