 the greatest hot dog eater, at least on the female side. There is a new champion on the men's side. Patrick Bertoletti wins this first Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. It's because Joey Chestnut, the champion, was banned from it this year for supporting organic hot dogs. Patrick Bertoletti wins the hot dog eating contest for the men, and the lady known as the Black Widow, Mika Sudo, wins it for the women.
