Here we go! Live from Coney Island, Jeremy Schaap and Major League Eating President Rich Shea host the 2025 Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest!

Nathan’s 2024 Hot Dog Eating Contest felt a bit undercooked due to the absence of world record holder Joey Chestnut. The famed competitive eater was unable to participate in the annual contest due to his partnership with Impossible Foods. Thankfully, this year’s event will be a full serving of delicious competition because Joey Chestnut is returning to Coney Island. Hot dogs beware!

“I’m thrilled to be returning to the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest,” Chestnut wrote on Instagram. “This event means the world to me. It’s a cherished tradition, a celebration of American culture, and a huge part of my life.”

Continued Chestnut, “I’m excited to be back on the Coney Island stage, doing what I live to do, and celebrating the Fourth of July with hot dogs in my hands! Stay hungry!”
