Joey Chestnut won Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest for a 15th time Monday, getting down 63 hot dogs and buns.

Chestnut faced an extra obstacle this year as a protester wearing a Darth Vader mask rushed the stage, but Chestnut put him in a brief chokehold before contest officials quickly took the protester away.

Women’s record-holder Miki Sudo won the women’s competition by eating 40 hot dogs and buns.
