The Mustard Belt is coming to Chicago. Local competitive eater Patrick “Deep Dish” Bertoletti won the 2024 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on Thursday with an impressive 58 hot dogs eaten in 10 minutes. That’s just four hot dogs short of Joey Chestnut’s record from last year.
“Bertoletti brings the passion of youth, and a strong jaw, to every contest he enters,” his Major League Eating profile says. “But he is always respectful of the elder eaters, quietly watching them to learn their secrets and the way of this world.”
This is the first Mustard Belt for Bertoletti, but he has 32 other competitive eating records to his name.
