There’s nothing more patriotic than celebrating Independence Day at Coney Island, watching fellow Americans (and a few foreigners) vie for the title of Hot Dog Eating World Champion. This year’s 96th annual Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest marks the first time women and men will compete in separate divisions, each with $20,000 in cash—and a Mustard Yellow Belt—up for grabs.
