CHICAGO — Thousands of Chicagoans scarfed down hot dogs in hopes of being named Vienna Beef’s Top Dog — but no one was quite as passionate as Stephanie Esposito.
Esposito, of the Southwest Side, visited 367 hot dog stands in just five weeks to win Vienna Beef’s Hot Dog Stand Challenge.(snip)
Esposito doesn’t know how many hot dogs she ate during the challenge — but, at 367 stands in just 35 days, she visited an average of more than 10 stands per day. She said she racked up an extra 9,000 miles on her car.(snip)
By becoming Vienna Beef Top dog, Esposito, a Park District emmployee, received a Top Dog T-shirt, a $1,000 Vienna Beef gift card and a one-of-a-kind Top Dog trophy — with a Vienna Beef hot dog on top, of course. She will also receive VIP tickets to several sporting and entertainment venues over the next year.(snip)0
Esposito said her boyfriend thought the challenge was a cool event but wasn’t seriously interested in participating in the challenge — while she, a highly competitive person, was determined to win. Just a week in, she’d already visited about 60 of the stands.
At times, Esposito would eat at hot dog stands every day after work and on weekends. When she started experiencing burnout from eating several hot dogs each week, she would change which items she ordered. Seeing others get close to winning the challenge, including Buralli and Lamont, kept her motivated to continue.
“I just started making it a priority and going to it all the time,” Esposito said.

OH LORD... here come the memes!!
As long as she got the vax, she’s healthy as a horse.
They say 1 hot dog takes 10 minutes off your life, but at least you’re a girl with the title of biggest wiener eater.
Congratulations to her, if that’s her thing. I suspect she is so sick of the sight and smell of hot dogs at this point, her $1000 hot dog gift certificate will probably go unused for a while.
A woman or a man
9000 miles?
Now she needs to rack up 9,000 miles on her FEET!
Shockingly she is not super cute like Rainia

The “southwest side” must go all the way to Alton.
Hotdog, hallway...

I’m speechless.
I’m just here for the comments and memes. 😏
She looks like she’s likely never seen a real hot dog.
At 30 miles to the gallon, that 300 gallons of gas. I hope she had other business to conduct.
Now there is a woman that is immune to any little C-vaccine.
Flour would be needed…
