To some people the Super Bowl is the biggest sports game of the year, but not me. Every July Fourth, I look forward to watching the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island.
Because of Coronavirus, it is not yet known if the annual contest will go on. Then if it doesn’t take place at the original Nathan’s, will they do it online? It is all up the air, like the hot dog spit that comes out of their mouths during the chow down.
The uncertainty is not stopping Joey Chestnut, the man who one 12 out of the last 13 years, from preparing for the eating competition. He told News 12 “I hope I am there in Brooklyn, and I hope people can watch, but no matter what I will be eating hot dogs on the 4th and I hope everybody is, and even if there isn’t any kind of contest, I will be live-streaming eating at home.”
I hope Nathan’s finds a way to make it happen. I need to see them devour over 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes. Not because I want to see them do it. I am waiting for someone to eat too many frankfurters and buns, and throw them up live on the air. It happened once, and I have been waiting for a repeat ever since. It was really awesome!

Is it the Fourth of July without the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Challenge from Coney Island on ESPN 2 and Joey Chestnut winning the competition? Well, he did it again for the 11th time by downing, not eating, 64 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
Seeing all of those men swallow frankfurters and their buns whole makes me want to skip eating weiners all together today. Although, it also gives me a lot of impure thoughts. If you know what I mean!
Every year I look forward the Fourth of July, not for the fireworks but for Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. This year Joey Chestnut went for his 10th win and he did not disappoint. Not only did he get his 10th belt, he also broke his record and downed 72 hot dogs in 10 minutes. That is a lot of wieners in a short amount. And there are a lot of women on 42nd Street who would agree with that.
Seriously, after watching this contest, I swear off of hot dogs for a year. Therefore, I am good until the next Independence Day!

It is that time of year, when I find out what channel ESPN is on on my cable system. That’s because today is the annual Fourth of July Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest and it is what being American is all about. Each year 20 people try to down as many hot dogs as they can in 10 minutes and keep them down.
From 2007-2014, Joey Chestnut held that title and continued to break his own records. Then last year, Matt Stonie, who lives in the same town as him, beat him.
This year both men were back to battle it out and there could only be one winner. I guess last year’s loss really lit a fire in Chestnut’s belly because Stonie never stood a chance. Not only did Chestnut destroy his opponent by 17 wieners, he also beat his own record. He gobbled down 70 dogs in 10 minutes and I will not eat another one until July 3rd.
I don’t know how they do it. I can’t eat 70 of anything in 10 minutes and they do it like it is nothing. Thankfully these competitive eaters know how to do it because I love watching them every year.
But then again, I am still hoping for another contestant to throw up on live TV again. That was an awesome moment in television history.
I think that next year they should add another part to the challenge. After the 10 minutes are up, all the contestants need to ride the Cyclone at Coney Island. Whoever ate the most hot dogs and kept them down, is the winner. So it is a two part contest that will be both exciting and disgusting at the same time. Because you know as soon as one person loses his hot dogs, the rest will follow. How glorious would that be?
What would Easter be without Peeps? No matter how much you try to avoid them, they still come back to haunt you. No one as much as competitive eater Matt Stonie.
The Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest’s winner decided to eat 200 of them in record breaking time. What happens if you eat 200 of the sugar covered marshmallows? Watch to find out.
I don’t know how he did it because I feel sick after eating just one and I am already on a sugar high from it too. He downed several of them before he looked like he was going to have Peep colored puke. Which will look even grosser than the chickadees. That is what they are, right?
