NEW YORK CITY — Hot dogs and the Fourth of July seemingly go hand in hand. For competitive eater Mary Bowers , devouring more than one is just part of the job when it comes to Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.This year's event will be her ninth time at the table, but it's the progress she's made in finding her biological family that makes this contest even more special.

My name is Mary and I am STILL the #1 ranked competitive eater in #Korea 🇰🇷. I am the ONLY athlete to have ever represented my country @originalnathans @eatingcontest. Don't ever underestimate me again 💪. #16for16 #america #happyjuly4th pic.twitter.com/y97pKuNG7O Bowers says she was able to meet her brother for the first time in person back in June. However, she shares it was not his first time seeing her.

"So a year later, we're still waiting on the U.S. Government to take some action. But other governments around the world have also launched independent investigations," Bowers said."The initial investigation began in Korea. We expect to have a preliminary report by the end of this calendar year and a final report in May. Chase And I also expect to find out whether our parents are actually identifiable or findable in the Spring, as well.

With the same spirit helping her find her family, Bowers hopes to continue moving forward to the competitive eating stage and beyond.
