The Fourth of July has become synonymous with Joey Chestnut for nearly two decades. With the exception of the 2024 event, the competitive eater has taken part in the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest every year since 2007. He has won the competition a record 17 times, most recently in his triumphant 2025 return to the Nathan's stage. But his eating expertise exceeds just hot dogs. Chestnut holds over 50 world records, ranging in monumental munchies from bologna to cheesesteak egg rolls. Check out his all-time record-breaking feasting feats, according to Major League Eating.
