WOO WOO WOO WOO!

I was there in person 2 years ago.... I was way behind the stage and couldn't see. Pretty much the only ones in front of the stage are news cameras.

Wait, so hot dog eating is being covered as a sport now?

Yes, of course Miss Lynster!

I think Chestnut ate 65 hotdogs. The decision is still undecided. Too close to call. Kobayashi puked.

This is how I am spending my day. Watching the Nathan's contest. It is raining like no tomorrow here.

Chestnut won! The belt is back in America!

Oh no, poor Kobayashi!

But man 66 FREAKIN' HOTDOGS! I think I'd do the same thing....the thought of eating more than 2 hotdogs makes me feel that way, lol.

I can't even watch those guys eat... it literally makes me gag. Ugh!

It is disgusting. But, the commentary is hilarious. You think they were announcing the Super Bowl or something. You're just waiting for the announcers to crack up laughing. The whole thing is fun.

Now the Scripps spelling bee is on. Good TV.

They are replaying it now, in case you missed it like I did.
