Max Suzuki set Nathan’s debut record for 10 minute contests
Here is an updated list of the top debuts in Nathan’s hot dog contests according to information in the eatfeats database. Last month in Las Vegas, Max Suzuki set a record for the top debut in a 10 minute contest, exceeded only by Takeru Kobayashi in 2001, who had two minutes longer. (previous list from 2016)
Raina Huang just passed 50,000 subscribers for her youtube channel, making her the first American female competitive eater to hit that benchmark. (Miki Sudo is at 25K, Molly Schuyler has 17K). For non-USA English language channels by female competitive eaters, I think Peggie Neo leads with 307K subscribers. Nela Zisser has 162K and Kate Ovens has 38K
