Hot Dogs!

[MichaelB]

Looks like Joey Chestnut did it again. He ate 62 hot dogs, with buns, in 10 minutes to win the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. He was off his 2021 record of 76 but still blew away the competition.

Let's see. 39 years old. Net worth of $4M.

Is he ready? Looks like he is taking his financial management seriously, which is great to hear.

Joey, I think "JawDogs" is available as a screen name. You are welcome here.

Seriously, I've seen him do some other contests where it is him against 6 or 8 amateurs (combined). It is never even close.

Just got kinda rooked into watching this w/ some friends. Had to not watch too closely. The food volume is bad enough, but add being vegan on top and it's just too much.

LOL

Weather was a factor but kind surprised that 62 was all he could mustard.

 

[MichaelB]

His rivals must relish the thought but still, will need to work hard to catch-up.

 

[REWahoo]

Yes, Chestnut is the wiener once again!

 

[bjorn2bwild]

That's just offal.

 

[JoeWras]

You punsters are red hot!

 

[W2R]

I like hot dogs, but 62 hot dogs? Wow. That's a lot of hot dogs.

 

[Montecfo]

Frankly, I find it entertaining.

This is quickly becoming my favorite thread ever. Well done

 

[Gumby]

I'll stick with Connecticut's own Hummel Brothers all beef franks, and only one at a time, thanks.

Just read that Joey is pulling in $400K/year stuffing food down his throat. Surprised he doesn't weigh 500 pounds!

 

[MC Rider]

I don't think I could get one down by cramming it in like that.


Gag.

And he doesn't have to pay for meals

It's not so bad, I don't consider hotdogs as meat,,, more of a mystery although I truly suspect sawdust as 1 ingredient.

 

[Dtail]

Like to watch it too. Was surprised he lost in 2015. Not too close since then.

 

[Dean56]

2 Chicago dogs and a order of fries is my record.

 

[Badger]

One (maybe 2) with mustard and sauerkraut and I'm good for the day.

Cheers!

 

[Ronstar]

62 is way over my limit. But I have to have Chicago dogs, not the wimpy kind of dogs served elsewhere.

(I didn’t eat everything in the pic - this was for 4 of us at a great Chicago dog place)

 

[eytonxav]

Can you blame him, there is nothing like a Nathans hotdog.

 

[Koolau]

This thread is reminding me of the scene in "Stand By Me" If you've seen it, you know the one. It's on YouTube, but I didn't want to append it here, because, well, you know.

Returning you now...

 

[Midpack]

Too grotesque to watch for me, but to each his/her own.

 

[pacergal]

Love the humor here.
I can't watch eating contests, makes me gag.
I hope they have EMTs nearby in case someone chokes :-(

One Nathans with ketchup, mustard, sweet relish and sauerkraut--now that's a good meal!

I think that was the point of the scene. Four 12 year olds sitting around and entertaining each other - you're bound to come up with something gross like this.

Heh, heh, also the reason I didn't include the scene. YMMV
