On the Fourth of July, Miki Sudo and Nick Wehry are expected to do something no other couple in America will: eat about 90 hot dogs and buns combined at the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island in New York.
Each will shovel down the food during a 10-minute time limit, and Sudo and Wehry, who are engaged, will re-earn their nickname, "The Hungry Couple.''
The chances of being dethroned?
“It’s almost mathematically impossible,’’ Wehry said, with relish.
In 2020, Sudo and Wehry shattered the previous couples record by devouring a combined 88 hot dogs – buns included. Sudo ate 48½ and Wehry ate 39½. They’re back this year after Sudo took off the 2021 competition while she was pregnant.
