Pat Bertoletti Crowned New Hot Dog King at Nathan’s Fourth of July Contest
Women’s World Record Set by Miki Sudo; Eric "Badlands" Booker Sets Lemonade Chug Record
The annual Nathan’s Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest went forth without Joey Chestnut. There was a world record on the women’s side and the new frank king among the men in the 2024 hot dog eating contest is Pat Bertoletti from Chicago. He swallowed 58 Nathan’s Franks.
The winner set a personal best. He is a good from of Chestnut, who was in at Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX, awaiting a dog duel with four members of the military. That made the betting odds for the men’s event a wide-open field.

Bertoletti’s mark was nowhere near what the Hot Dog King usually eats. Chestnut regularly goes over 60 and holds the world mark of 76.
58 GLIZZYS 😱

- Geoffrey Esper finished second with 53.
