Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest

[mysterycolor]

so- i always enjoy this and find it a bit of an interesting sport, certainly look forward to it each 4th of July. I am a fan of Tim Janus (eater X) though he has never won the this title- he is still pretty awesome to watch! So I am just wondering if any other dromers are into it? do you have a favorite competitive eater? All opinions welcome! Happy 4th of July!!

Nah, I barely pay attention to it. I think it's interesting and fun, but I don't really tune in or anything.

well if you are ever asked Joey Chestnut won for the men's competition and Sonya Thomas took it for the ladies :)

I knew about Chestnut. He wins a lot. Kobayashi also had a good record for it, too. We do have Nathan's hot dogs though. They're pretty good.

it is a shame that Kobayashi could not reach an agreement to be able to compete... certainly couldve given Chestnut a run for his money much more than Janus did.

Joey Chestnut is an American hero!:lol:

Kudos to Sonya The Black Widow for eating (I think) 45 dogs in the women's competition. I always remembered Sonya competing in the main tournament and usually finishing in the Top 5. Was the women's contest a new addition this year?

the women's competition started in 2011- they get a pink belt .

and you may think chestnut rocks- but eater x is my hero in the world of competitive eating lol
