Hot Dog Eating Contest - A Sport?

Posted 7/5/2008 on Women Like Sports

I still can’t get over that the word “competitive” is placed in front of “eating” and is actually a “sport”. ESPN is even showing the highlights right now on SportsCenter. There are even “techniques” involved and apparently some are not legal in every state. Contestants were using the controversial “cannonball technique” this year which is legal in New York where the 2008 Nathan’s Hot Dog ...

For those who somehow missed it, Joey Chestnut brought his A game and took hot dog eating to new levels, as he and Kobayashi went into overtime to decide the King of Hot Dog Eating at the annual contest in Coney Island. Both ate 59 hotdogs in 10 minutes, before seeing who can eat five the quickest to determine it all. It was shocking…well, cause I didn’t realize that there was a ...

Frankly, after the drama that unfolded today on Coney Island, I don't see how Griffin-Jackson can match the intensity of the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. The great Kobayashi, on the comeback trail from a debilitating jaw injury in 2007, was caught in the final seconds by American Joey Chestnut. Kobayashi made the mistake ...

Tomorrow is the Fourth of July, which means one of America's great annual sporting events -- the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest -- will take place on Coney Island.

So how do they ...

Long Island's own Eric (Badlands) Booker recently won the New Jersey hot dog eating contest to warm up for the big one in Coney Island Friday.
