You may not be traveling to go swimming or see fireworks this weekend, but one thing is universal to July 4, even in the midst of a pandemic: hot dogs.
Whether you're having a few hot dogs yourself at home or tuning in to watch competitive eaters gobble up a few dozen in the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, hot dogs should be top of mind Saturday.
Even this yearly tradition isn't untouched by the COVID-19 pandemic; for the first time, the contest will be held indoors without any spectators, in Brooklyn, New York, rather than Coney Island.
And given how many people may be staying home this weekend in lieu of their normal holiday weekend travel plans, Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest may see a corresponding bump in ratings. In 2019, the ESPN broadcast brought in nearly two million viewers, according to NathansFamous.com.

Does ESPN condone BLM or taking a knee?
Made me sick to my stomach the few times I watched it in the past.
Nathan’s is now Chinese owned.
I’m pretty sure I could be a competitive eater but I’m 52 and overweight and will probably just drop dead at the first one :-)
Besides it’s not what I want on my tombstone :-)
I get a kick out of it though :-)
Sounds exciting........LOL!
Yep, ChiComs own Nathans (Smithfield).
Go with Sabrett.
Blue & Yellow Umrellas on thoe NYC carts.
Created, stuffed and made in good ole New Jersey!
NJ is almost ChiCom, but Sabrett is hqd in Englewood, a nice little town.
I have no idea why people want to watch this. No sound? Oh yes there is, disgusting glurps and sloppy saliva noises, and their soaking the bread in water nearly made me throw up.
What?
Chicoms? Great! We’re lost.
If you missed it, you missed it -
Miki Sudo with a new Womens Record!!! 48 1/2 hotdogs and buns in 10 minutes at the #COVID19 edition of the @originalnathans 4th of July Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Which of the other Deadly Sins can we celebrate today?
Happy Fourth.
Get to Detroit and get a REAL Coney dog.
The crazy Greeks there invented them. The best ever..... Sorry NYC loses this one.

Chestnut is at 44. Booker has 13.
How is indoors better than outdoors?
Water? Jeez put chili onions and mustard on it!
Yes. ESPN is 100% in with the BLM/Antifa crowd.
