Who doesn't love a hot dog on July 4? Or 80 hot dogs? American independence is a great reason to celebrate on Tuesday, and no event is more American than Nathan's Annual Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest. Every year, the world's foremost competitive eaters gather in Brooklyn to engorge themselves on hot dogs for 10 minutes. It's a delightfully silly showcase of competition. Joey Chestnut is the reigning champion after he ate a contest record 70 hot dogs in 10 minutes in 2016. Chestnut reclaimed the belt from Matt Stonie, who beat him in 2015 by eating 62 hot dogs.
