Two Western Pennsylvania men will belly up to the World Series of eating today.
They will try to become the best of the wurst in the dog-eat-dog world of competitive eating, wolfing down wieners at Coney Island in Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Brian Subich, of Johnstown, Cambria County, and Chip Simpson, 24, of Harrisville, Butler County, are two of 16 contestants who qualified to compete in the contest that's been won the past five years by a 5-foot-7, 150-pound Japanese man, Takeru Kobayashi. He once put down 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes.
The contest, which has been a Fourth of July tradition since 1916 at Coney Island in New York, will be televised on ESPN, proving that competitive eating has come a long way from your grandfather's pie-eating contest at the county fair.
It's become a sport with competing organizations trying to outdo each other in their hunger for glory -- and cash prizes.

Just a joke .... but he's thinking about munchin' at the junction.
Boo.
Should we take away all these multi-million dollar estates from the very rich because so many people in the world have no shelter at all for themselves?
Hmmmm........... maybe!
;-)
This guy can't be beat unless he drinks a case of beer before the competition.
He's hallow.

Happy 4th!
and what about the ORIGINAL hot dog shop in Oakland???
happy 4th to yunz two jagoffs : )
;-)
i wasn't eating there til the late 70s. But i have tremendous nostalgia for Oakland and my alma mater.
Oops .......... he's hollow.
The "O" --- brain food!
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Your Dirty O's are legendary in the Hill District 'n'at.
there is now one in Plum boro, which is just scandalous. no comparison to the....ORIGINAL... ; )
(Stolen thread alert)
They should cut off the heads of the people that support Open Borders!!
(/Now THAT is a stolen thread!!)
I have traveled a lot of places, but the only place I *miss* is the 'burgh.
Kobe wins with a new record 54 hot dogs
That Chestnut guy came real close with 52
Maybe next year
I think there is a big difference betwen any man earning and spending his money the way he likes ,and a person wasting food to show what a glutton he is.
Then ........... perhaps stop thinking.
Your point in the FIRST PLACE was that these people in this hot dog contest were wasting food! Well then, these rich folks who live in estates with 23 bathrooms, etc. are just as guilty of your sort of deranged thinking for spending all that money on their homes when many others in the world have no shelter at all.
Rationality is not your friend.

By the way, there are two "e's" in between.
