Official results. Joey Chestnut broke his record with a total of 76.

I am going to be away from the internet for most of today and do not expect to post men’s results until sometime tonight. If you need them, you should not have any difficulty finding them.
Hope everyone has a happy and safe July 4th.

Official results
Today is the 10th anniversary of the inaugural Nathan’s Famous women’s division. Nothing has been heard from the original top 3 in over 20 months, with Juliet Lee and Stephanie Torres passing away and Sonya Thomas going radio-silent after a mystery disqualification in the 2018 finals.
Mary Bowers is a surprise omission. There do not appear to be any unexpected entrants.
