Joey Chestnut made his Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest debut in 2005, and the rest is history. He’s become the face of the competitive eating sport, helping make this contest an annual tradition for many on the Fourth of July.
His first Mustard Belt came in 2007, and since then, Chestnut has won 17 of the 18 contests he’s participated in. That’s meant logic-defying hot dog totals, featuring a world record 76 hot dogs eaten in 2021.
Here’s a look at Chestnut’s career results at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest since his debut in 2005:
- 2005: 32 hot dogs eaten
- 2006: 52 hot dogs eaten
- 2007: 66 hot dogs eaten
