A Las Vegas woman has consumed 37 hot dogs to win her fifth straight title in the women’s side of the annual July 4 contest.

The Las Vegas competitor fell short of the 41 hot dogs she ate last year but still easily beat second-place finisher Michelle Lesco, of Tucson, Arizona. Ms Lesco ate 28 sausages and buns.
