CONEY ISLAND —– (77WABC)
Some of the world’s elite eaters are preparing to make the live comeback they’ve been waiting for at the annual Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating-Contest
All eyes are on this year’s defending men’s champion Joey Chestnut, who is seeking his 14th victory and holds the world record of 75 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes.
Michele Lesco is the odds-on favorite for women’s champion.
The Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest is a Fourth of July tradition that goes back over 100 years, and it returns to the Coney Island boardwalk to a full capacity crowd this year.
We. Are. New York.
