WOW: 34 Hotdogs Would Feed Me For a Fortnight.

[Bbailey324]

34 hot dogs might be about a 5 year supply for me. I've watched some of the professional eater videos on Youtube and see people eating more in 30 min or so than I eat in 10 days.

Cool Hand Luke once ate 50 eggs in an hours time. He looked pretty uncomfortable afterwards.

Luke was definitely the coolest! Never bet against Cool Hand Luke!

Vienna Beef is my sausage of choice, Chicago born and raised wife led me to them. The bright green piccalilli, celery salt and ,,, well the works! Two is my limit these days. Lately though, I've favored "chili cheese dawgs."

I doubt the competitive eaters really taste what they force down their gullets. A waste of hot dogs, in my opinion. Great dawgs are to be savored.

And apparently some guy from Indiana holds the world record at a whopping 76 hotdogs scoffed in 10 minutes .

The impressive thing about that is that the human body can survive it (I'm assuming he survived).

The only hot dogs I eat are Bright Leaf by Carolina Packers. Made in Johnston County NC and it proudly displays a tobacco leaf on the package. Served with mustard, onions and chili which is "all the way" around here. I add slaw. Eastern Carolina style.

If I lived in North Carolina I'd weigh 300 pounds and all the pulled pork dealers would be driving very expensive PU's. I could live a happy life eating nothing but, North Carolina style pulled pork sandwiches. Pure bliss!

Nathan's are all I buy now. Also par boil to remove some of the salt and either pan fry of grill. Mustard and onions. Put ketchup on my hotdogs and I'll throw it at you.

One weekend night, alone at home, I ate a bowl of milk and cereal. That didn't make me digest, the only thing I wanted to do was to vomit like a pissed off volcano. I don't know how they can put in so much food, and not burst like a camping gas canister.

NYC dirty water dogs aren't bad, in a pinch.

This competitive eating, it annoys me so much. It’s gluttony for the sake of gluttony. This has to be an American phenomenon. I love dogs but these guys aren’t tasting or enjoying them, just to have a useless title. I’m sure it puts your body under stress and I bet they throw up afterwards.

A rain delay this past July, threw off the competitors, so they were nowhere near the record.
I'm good for three, on my best day!

I'm good for none, on any day.

I am rather partial to those vegetarian hot dogs, tastes the same once you add all the trimmings!

They're going for the money, notariety, and the satisfaction of being the best at what they do. All in good fun I think. Certainly nothing to be taken seriously, except for the competitors of course. Very serious for them. Can't deny the competitive spirit that is showcased. It's done with all sorts of foods. A wiener on a bun, unadulterated, is just one of them.

I watched the big Coney Island contest several years ago out of morbid curiosity.

It was like watching people puke in reverse for ten minutes straight.

@georged: Can you imagine the flatulence issues afterwards - after the eating contest you could have a fart lighting contest!
