Watch the entire men's hot dog eating competition
ASIAN AMERICANS did their doggone best to win the men's and women's contests of the annual hot-dog eating contest in New York City on the most American of holidays - July Fourth.
Matt Stonie upset defending champion Joey Chestnut by downing 62 Nathan's hot dogs (with buns); two more than fellow San Jose resident Chestnut.
"We don't just go up there and eat hot dogs. We practice for this. We prepare our bodies," Stonie said. "It was a tough contest. Joey brings it all. I had to push really hard to beat him. But I feel great."
Chestnut had won eight straight years before this year's defeat. Last year, Stonie finished second to Chestnut.
On the women's side, defending champion Miki Sudo of Las Vegas won the women's contest by devouring 38 wieners and buns in 10 minutes. She downed four more hot dogs than last year and for the second year in a row bested former champ Sonya "Black Widow" Thomas of Alexandria, Virginia, who ate a distant 31 sausages.
