Mykel Thoren, Stanton (left) and Mark Williams, Marshalltown (right) compete in 2022. They each came into the event as having won multiple titles in our March Mayhem Hot Dog Eating contests over the years. This was the first year they were both available to compete head to head. Mark Williams, a competitive eater nationally, became our 2022 Champion. Thanks for coming Mark!!
