Why don't they buy the White House while they're at it? When you think about Nathan's, your mind always goes to the Coney Island boardwalk. It's an American icon, and it's been an institution there since Nathan’s Famous was founded in 1916 by Polish immigrant Nathan Handwerker as a five-cent hot dog stand in Coney Island, where it quickly became a local institution.
I wasn't aware of it, but it turns out that Smithfiled is 100% owned by Hong Kong-based WH Groups. The company is the single largest pork producer in the world. Over the decades, Nathan's evolved into a nationwide franchise known for its signature hot dogs and annual Fourth of July eating contest, a tradition that has become a fixture of American summer celebrations. Now it's wholly owned by them.
I wonder what Joey Chestnut thinks about this. He's the reigning King of Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog-Eating Contest. The event is held annually in Coney Island, New York.
Chestnut holds the world record for eating 76 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, which he set in 2021.
He has won the coveted "Mustard Belt" a record 17 times. In his most recent victory in 2025, he consumed 70.5 hot dogs in 10 minutes...
