Inside Secrets: 3 Unbeatable Winning Bets for the 2025 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest Revealed!

Patrick Bertoletti is the 2024 “paper champion,” scarfing down 58 hot dogs and buns (HDB) in Chestnut’s absence. That’s well short of Chestnut’s world record of 76 HBD that he ate in 2021. Chestnut’s lowest HBD is 54 in 2010. Miki Sudo won her record 10th Pink Belt last year by downing a women’s record 51 HBD.

The Michael Jordan of competitive eating has only eclipsed this number four times in his 16 Nathan’s victories. Two of those wins were in easier conditions due to COVID restrictions in New York. Lastly, temperatures in Brooklyn on Friday are expected to be in the mid-80s. The hotter it is outside, the more stale the buns become. That, and sweat, can affect an eater’s bun-dunking technique.
