Chestnut barely broke his own world record of 73 1/2 hot dogs which he set in 2016 during a qualifying event. According to Major League Eating, Chestnut is ranked number one in the world for competitive eating.

Initial unofficial numbers put Chestnut at 64 dogs and buns, but the Associated Press and Major League Eating are reporting the official count is 74, which barely beats Chestnut's previous world record.
