All-Time List of Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Champions
In celebration of the 4th of July and the 245th Birthday of America, we have created a list honoring the last 50 plus years of Nathan's World Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Over the last week, we have been searching for an easy-to-read list of previous contest winners to no avail, so we decided to create our own.
