For the first time in his career, Patrick Bertoletti has won the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog eating contest with a total of 58 hot dogs and buns. The number is a new personal best for Bertoletti and Geoffrey Esper came in second with 53 hot dogs and buns.

  • ‘Always the bridesmaid’ no more

    Bertoletti’s key to taking the belt today? Hot water and relentlessness. “I wasn’t going to stop eating until the job was done,” he said.

    “I was able to unlock something that I don’t know where it came from, but I’m not complaining,” Bertoletti added in a post-contest interview.

    Coming into today, Bertoletti was the No. 9 ranked eater in the world. But starting tomorrow, that will change.

  • It’s over! Pat Bertoletti is the champ!

    James Webb of Australia comes in third place with 52 dogs and buns consumed.

    Geoffrey Esper lands in second place with 53 dogs and buns consumed.

    But Chicago’s Pat Bertoletti has done it! The results are official! With 58 dogs and buns consumed, a personal best, he has won the 2024 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest!

  • We’re still waiting for the official results, but if it holds, it’ll be Bertoletti as the winner.

  • Bertoletti has the late lead!

    One minute left! Bertoletti has reached 50 dogs and he has a consistent three-dog lead!

  • Bertoletti has jumped out to a two-dog lead and continues to hold that. His cheeks are stuffed full like a chipmunk and he is in the zone.

  • With four minutes left Wehry has slowed down considerably. Webb and Bertoletti have been knotted at the top for the last minute, matching each other dog for dog. But Esper is making a late play!

  • It’s still anyone’s contest…

    With seven minutes remaining, everyone is still bunched up. No one has staked out a clear lead yet, but Bertoletti, Webb, Whery, Esper, and Yamamoto have consistently been in the top five. The winner will be one of them.

  • The top competitors are going to for the “dunk-and-shove” method, where you dump the dogs — bun and all — into liquid before shoveling into your mouth. Most use water, but Esper, the world No. 2, is seemingly using a violently red beverage (strawberry lemonade? cherry soda? red Gatorade?) to help facilitate his eating.

  • Ten minutes starts now!

    We’re off! Wehry has an early lead, with Bertoletti and Webb chasing close behind.

  • Another great one from George Shea, about Nick Wehry.

    “And so shall history hear the echoes of itself in the triumphs of this man. 50 hard boiled eggs in three minutes and four seconds, two gallons of baby food, 48 hot dogs and buns…”

  • George Shea is at the mic making his inimitable intros for the men’s competitors. Here’s a sample.

    “The child of pain, who lays in the blood soaked bed of roses of the damned … a man so evil they put him in prison in hell. Hell prison!”

  • While the women’s competition had a number of amateurs alongside pros like Miki Sudo, this men’s contest has some high-ranked competitors, with previous big wins under their belts and top rankings in their respective countries. Who will break through to take the title?

  • ESPN is doing a tribute to the absent Joey Chestnut, comparing him to Mozart and Picasso, as well as Babe Ruth and Warren Buffett (?).

    Convoluted comparisons aside, competing without Chestnut is a tough blow for Nathan’s, but opens up the field for a new winner to take the mustard belt. Geoffrey Esper, the No. 2 in Major League Eating’s rankings, has a chance to take the title, while Australian James Webb, the No. 5, could also pull out a victory.

  • Power eating’s power couple

    Miki Sudo, the 2024 women’s champ and new women’s record holder, is not the only one in her family involved in competitive eating. She’s half of a power-eating power couple with world No. 4 Nicholas Wehry, who has a chance to win it all with Joey Chestnut out of the picture.

    They could be the first husband and wife to be reigning champions of the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.

  • Eric “Badlands” Booker polishes off a gallon of lemonade in 21 seconds to set a new world record in the lemonade chug. The other competitors don’t even come close. Legendary.

  • We’re just minutes away from the 2024 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest!

    With 16-time champ Joey Chestnut banned, the main question is this: will any of these competitors be able match Miki Sudo’s 51 dogs and buns, the mark she set in the women’s competition earlier today?

  • Coney Island weather update

    The 2023 main event was plagued by rain and lightning, and only started after a delay. Will the 2024 contest suffer the same fate?

    It doesn’t appear so. Forecasts show cloudy skies but no rain over Coney Island for the next few hours. Let the eating commence!

  • Need a palate cleanser before the men’s competition? Here’s a look from the lemonade-chugging contest earlier this morning.

    Sudo was emotional in her post-belt interview. Making it to 50 dogs and buns has been a longtime goal of hers, and now she’s back to full strength after taking time off not long ago to give birth to her son (which she shares with fiancé Nicholas Wehry, who is the No. 4 ranked eater in the world and competing in the men’s competition).

    She thanked her family and friends, including those at dental school where she’s currently training to be a hygienist, but she singled out second-place finisher Ebihara, thanking her for being such a fierce competitor and giving her the motivation to come out so strong.
