At the annual July 4th hot dog eating contest Joey Chestnut was able to put away 62 and Miki Sudo was able to down 39.5.......I'm no slouch when it comes to putting away groceries but there is no way in he!! that I could come anywhere close to either one of them.

Joey chestnut has won 16 times. With a 20k prize, this man has won $320,000 eating hotdogs. Where did I go wrong in life?

I don't even like Nathan's dogs. They taste funny to me and have an aftertaste I really don't like.

How someone could eat 2 let alone 62 is way beyond me.

I can’t even imagine eating 62 hotdogs. I just ate two hotdogs with homemade berry cobbler and homemade ice cream for dessert, and I’m full as a tick.

My dad did a stint at a slaughterhouse when he was in veterinary school. He always said that some things were made for eating and some were made for selling. He was a firm believer that hot dogs and ANY lunch meat type product was DEFINITELY made for selling.

We used to have to drive past an old slaughterhouse when going out to my dad's practice (you OGs from Duncan might remember the old Ridley's Packing Plant east of town on Main Street) and the smell alone when they were processing was enough to make a believer outta me.

If a hot dog doesn't snap or pop when I bite into it it ain't a real hot dog; natural casing is the only way to go.
