64 Hot Dogs!!
If you missed the results this year, American Joey Chestnut achieved frankfurter immortality on Friday as he out stuffed his celebrated Japanese rival, Takeru Kobayashi, in an epic hot-dog eating contest that pushed both of the gluttonous gladiators to the brink. Joey beat out 20 other contestants in Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest held at New York's Coney Island. Joey and Kobayashi had tied at 59 dogs apiece in the 10-minute main event forcing an unprecedented eat off that ended when Joey gobbled down another five hot dogs in overtime. Hope it was worth it. He wins $10,000 and a mustard-colored belt.
Mixed feelings here folks.. hungry because I haven't had a proper NYC hot dog in a long time.. and nauseated by the thought of a mustard coloured belt!
