 The winner of this year's Nathan's famous 4th of July hot dog eating contest on the men's side, Chicago's Patrick Bertoletti. It was all focused today, no mohawk, just hot water, and I wasn't going to stop eating until the job was done. He wolfed down 58 hot dogs in 10 minutes. 16-time champ Joey Chestnut was barred from the event because he signed a deal with a competitor. The women's winner was defending champion Mickey Sudo. It was her 10th title. She consumed 51 hot dogs.
