Joey Chesnut is back on top of the hot dog-eating world. [He] reclaimed the Mustard Belt by eating 70 hot dogs in 10 in minutes, a new record at the Coney Island competition.

Post #36 :

If I could identify as a woman, I might be able to take that contest. I’m sure that the women will understand if this 230-pound 6’3” man was to put on a dress and enter the contest next year as a woman. Otherwise, they are just being “hateful” and “intolerant”, correct?

I like your idea, I encourage you to enter the contest. I even, ‘Double-Dog’ Dare you! :^)

It being right there in New York, you’d think Anthony Weiner would have a go. Huma’s off visiting with the FBI, so I doubt he had any other plans.

Does anyone remember who, when and where someone died after eating a ....whole roasted pig? The whole pig! All of it, off a skewer I think it was. Might or might not have been in some kind of eating contest. I think I read about this around 1979 or so. Anybody?

[Robert DeLong]

Nope news to me, and google returns nothing with regard to that story. Python dies eating porcupine. Man dies eating cockroaches (how disgusting). But nothing about a man dying eating a whole pig.

[I want the USA back]

Complete waste of time. This is nothing to get a prize for. Stuffing down hotdogs is what a bear would do.

I have difficulty maintaining under 90g, myself. I can only get this with no alcohol and very little measured fruits. It is essentially a diabetics diet. Just about any processed food has added sugars. I’ve lost some weight and feel better but it is a pain at times.

[SamAdams76]

Way I look at it, if carbs are naturally in the foods you eat (i.e. berries, broccoli, etc.) they are okay. What I go out of my way to avoid is added sugar and that is found in practically every packaged food. Even learned to drink my coffee black.

The downside is we have to do groceries 4-5 times a week as we don't buy much with a long shelf life.

[discostu]

Oh I totally forgot about the contest this year. Oh well.

[bus man]

It’s just not the same since they banned Takeru Kobayashi due to a contract dispute. There’s just something so surreal about watching a thin little Asian guy wolf down 60-plus hot dogs.

I found it!

(and I'm surprised that Hillary hasn't been eating whole piglets!)

BUENOS AIRES — A 660-pound man died in an Argentine hospital Thursday, five days after eating a whole piglet for dinner, doctors said.

Alfredo Rosales, 32, had been on a respirator in an intensive-care unit in La Plata, 40 miles from Buenos Aires, since feasting on the pig last Saturday.
