It may not be pretty, but Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog-Eating Contest is an Independence Day tradition in the Manhattan borough of New York City.

Joey Chestnut broke his own world record Sunday, eating 76 hot dogs with buns. It's his 14th "mustard belt" in the last 15 years.

Michelle Lesco won the women's division, eating 30 ¾ hot dogs with buns. The former womens' world champion Miki Sudo did not compete this year due to pregnancy.
