Record holder Joey Chestnut took down 66 hot dogs to claim the Mustard Belt for the 18th time, and Miki Sudo downed 38.75 hot dogs for her record 12th victory.

There is a book called “Horsemen of the Esophagus “ that digs in to the world of competitive eating. What a bizarre thing to take up? Then again, I remember watermelon eating contests when I was a kid.
