Let’s Celebrate Our Freedom To Have Hot Dog Eating Contests!

Posted by Sara Schaefer July 3, 2009 10:30 AM

It's that time of year again!! Time to fire up the BBQ, watch fireworks, and read the Declaration Of Independence aloud to your friends. It's also time for the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Here, former champions Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi are "weighing in." I didn't know you had to weigh in for a hot dog eating contest. I figured if there was one sport where weight was NOT a factor, it would be this one.

Let's do this thing, America.
