NEW YORK -- Joey "Jaws'' Chestnut ate 71 wieners and buns to secure his 12th title at Nathan's Famous annual July Fourth hot dog eating contest.
In front of a crowd of fans and facing 17 opponents, the California native came close but didn't manage to beat his own record of 74 dogs, set last year.
However, he far exceeded his nearest competitors. Afterward, Chestnut said he was disappointed to not break his record, but planned to try again next year.
Reigning women's champion Miki Sudo devoured 31 hot dogs to win the women's division of the annual competition.
The 33-year-old fell short of her 37-frankfurter total from last year, but she earned her sixth consecutive title by easily beating runner-up Michelle Lesco, who wolfed down 26 hot dogs.
Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas holds the women's record of 45 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
Spectators with foam hot dog hats, plastic noisemakers and homemade signs descended on Coney Island's famed boardwalk for the contest.
"I'm super grateful for everybody who came out here to support," Sudo said.
