Joey Chestnut wins again! Can't even watch this stuff without gagging, LOL! :sick:


 

I've always thought of those "competitions" as being gross. It's a reflection of how rich, yet how stupid, this country is, when they can foster this kind of contest while there are thousands of people starving.

Reminds me a lot of ancient Rome, just before the fall.
 
Better to be in the condiments section...with ketchup...my main squeeze!

I love gas station hot dogs and a lot of the gas stations in this area sell Nathan's, which my wife does not like (all hot dogs). So, the only time I get to eat a hot dog is if I buy one at a gas station or at an outdoor bar-b-que that we may get invited to.
 
I'm not keen on hot dogs and watching him makes me a bit sick to my stomach. I might do well in a watermelon eating contest though. Nothing I like better than a nice sweet, red, ripe, watermelon. I hate to admit it but I have eaten so much at one time I could feel it sloshing around in my stomach.
 
We don't eat hot dogs very often either, might buy a package when we go out camping. Even then, it's only all-beef and nitrate/nitrite-free, Coleman's brand. No lunch meat here either Jackie, haven't had a bologna sandwich since my mother packed them for me in my lunch bag waaaay back when.
 
Once in a great while, okay not more than once a week...a 7/11 chili cheese dog and a slurpee. Enough sodium and sugar combined to last you ten years.
 
Big ol' slice of bologna on wonder bread with miracle whip - Vunderbar!
Ball Park pork/turkey/chicken/floor sweepings hot dog with meat sauce from a can on a Walmart bun! Heaven! Even better with cheese and cole slaw.

Ooops - I almost forgot SPAM - it's a favorite here on the Big Island. Go into McD's and get a spam loco moco for breakfast!

But no way I could do 70. 2 or 3 is my max. My (late) wife told the story of having a coney-eating contest with her older brother when she was about 19. She ate 12 or 13 in one setting. He lost.
 
I like a good foot long chili dog once in awhile.....chili and cheese, no onions.

I like baloney.....fried thick sliced baloney with eggs for breakfast......fried thick sliced baloney and mustard sandwich......my lunch yesterday btw was baloney straight from the package with saltines.


I used to eat Spam quite a bit but don't now for some reason......I liked it fried with eggs for breakfast or fried with mustard on a sandwich.
