America\u2019s most delicious wiener war returns to Coney Island on the Fourth of July \u2013 outdoors, under the sun and open to the public \u2013 just like the boardwalk gods intended.<\/p>\n

Nathan\u2019s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest \u201cis my Super Bowl. It\u2019s my Indy 500,\u201d competitive eating legend and miracle of metabolism Joey \u201cJaws\u201d Chestnut, a California native, told The Post. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to be back in New York and do this the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The competition began in 1916, when Coney Island frank-ophile Jim Mullen, an immigrant from Ireland, consumed 13 hot dogs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s become a national holiday spectacle in recent years, broadcast coast-to-coast on ESPN.<\/p>\n

But last year, amid the COVID-19 panic, the contest was held indoors<\/a> for the first known time. Only a smattering of media<\/a> attended. Even the nearby amusement parks were shuttered, leaving Coney Island a bland, empty bun of itself. <\/p>\n

The event, too, lost much of its mustard without the boisterous beer- and sun-soaked crowds. Few people saw Chestnut set a world record, consuming an unbelievable 75 hot dogs with buns in just 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was weird, very weird,\u201d Chestnut said.<\/p>\n

The contest returns outdoors in all its gluttonous glory, albeit in a new location, Maimonides Park, the recently renamed home of the Brooklyn Cyclones, just a few steps from the event\u2019s traditional location in front of Nathan\u2019s Famous at the corner of Surf and Stillwell avenues.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nathan\u2019s July 4th Hot Dog Eating Contest has been around longer than the Masters, longer than the NBA Championship and way longer than the Super Bowl,\u201d boasted Major League Eating co-founder Richard Shea, whose company runs the event on behalf of Nathan\u2019s Famous. \u201cIt is one of, if not the most, venerable dates on the sports calendar. Rivaled perhaps only by the Kentucky Derby.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets to the contest are free and available at MajorLeagueEating.com<\/a>.\n <\/div>\n
