Competitive Eating = Craziness
Steven wanted to watch the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest yesterday so I hung out in his room to view it with him.
Man, I think there’s a great diet technique there because I wanted to vomit from just watching.
Joey Chestnut won his fifth consecutive title by eating 62 hot dogs (with buns) in ten minutes. He wasn’t so gross to watch (although he did look pained) but the second place dude, Pat Bertoletti, was really gross. He dunked his 53 dogs and buns in red fruit punch so his hands were stained and the food, as it kept trying to come back out of his mouth, looked like, well, body parts of some sort.
Bertoletti and Chestnut
I couldn’t believe how many people were there to watch the event live. It was announced that there were almost 30,000 in attendance. Crazy. I had no idea how popular this event was.
And, dramatic, apparently. Chestnut’s main rival, Takeru Kobayashi, had his own event at the same time in a different location. He had a contract dispute with Major League Eating so he wasn’t allowed to enter the contest. Really, there’s an organization that runs the biggest eating events. Proof that you can make money at anything.
Not only did Kobayashi eat more hot dogs than Chestnut, he broke Chestnut’s world record of 68 by consuming 69. Oh, boy! That probably rocked the professional eating world.
They did a survey that asked if people thought this was a sport. I’m happy to report that the majority of respondents said that it wasn’t. I think it’s just a spectacle of gluttony and this was my last time watching.
