The excitement reached new heights yesterday at Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest. For the first time in Coney Island history, the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest went into overtime. Joey Chestnut and Kobayashi had a 5 dog eat-off after they each tied with 59 franks, leading Joey Chestnut to his second consecutive victory. Poor Koby’s mouth still hurts but he promises to be back next year in top form.
My girl "The Black Widow" finished in fifth place with 34 hot dogs.
We have to give props to these guys because they suffer after the event – but they do it for us anyway. According to AP writer Adam Goldman, the competitors will "likely suffer nausea, bloat, headache, and possibly high blood pressure for several days as the body slowly digests the food".
God Bless America. God Bless the Mustard Yellow Belt.
