Review Preview - Competitive Eating
May 3rd, 2007 by Brian Ries in ReviewsYeah, I know. In retrospect, two stories dealing with hot dogs does seem like too much of a good thing, but this is the beginning of prime frankfurter season. Gorge away and start training for Dairy Inn’s annual Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4.
To tide you over, here are some choice (and grotesque!) eating records, courtesy of the International Federation of Competitive Eating:
84 ounces of baked beans in under 2 minutes
46 dozen oysters in 10 minutes
247 pickled jalapenos in 8 minutes
Sound disgusting? I saved the worst of them for next week’s article.
Think you have what it takes to compete with the big boys (and girls)? God, I hope not.
