Wow — what excitment around town…The World Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest was held yesterday in Coney Island and broadcast on ESPN. Did you know it is one of their most watched episodes? Actually I find it super disgusting to watch people eat food really fast. I would prefer an eating contest that could go all day long just because that would be sort of interesting and not so disgusting. Maybe just how much food could someone put away before they had to leave the table because they were full? But this contest is how many Nathan’s hot dogs and buns can a human being consume in 12 minutes? If you follow this exciting bit of trivia, then you know that the most famous eater of all time is this small guy from Japan and that his closest competitor is a guy from San Jose, California. Guess who won yesterday? Yeah — it was that exciting.

Food contests appeal to me
but not this type.
