As for the eaters, Top-ranked Female Miki Sudo looks to defend her Mustard Belt during the 10-minute, all-you-can-eat contest, while on the men's side, a new champion will be crowned for the first time since the World's No. 1 Eater Joey Chestnut regained the Mustard Belt from Matt Stonie in 2016.

"The Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest is arguably the most iconic sporting event in American history," said Major League Eating Chair George Shea. "Eaters from across the globe come to Coney Island to honor this celebration of freedom."
