Yesterday Americans celebrated Independance Day. While some watched fireworks, some spent time with their families, some took part in a rather unique sport - competitave eating.
July 4th, 2011! 235 years of American history has all lead to this moment. Nathan's Annual Hot Dog Eating Contest.
[...]
There's a change in the air. A subtle stir. Something electric moves through the crowd. As mobs shout for their favorite heroic eater, flags pierce the sky in joyous celebration. It's time to eat!
This is the moment that separates the men from the boys, the carnivores from the vegetarians.
[...]
Chestnut and Bertoletti are neck and neck. This is no longer a competition about eating, but a test of will.
But it's a hot-dog-eat-hot-dog world out there, and there can be only one champion. When the dust and hotdog bits settle, Chestnut emerges victorious, 62 hotdogs fallen.
[...]
[Frank, Audience Member]:
"He represents the USA. He took it from Kobayashi in '07. Kobayashi has been winning from 2001-2006. He brought it back here to the US."
[...]
But not everyone was impressed.
[...]
[Joey Chestnut, Hot Dog Eating Champion]:
"He did a little thing on his own. It's no different from when I do a practice on my own and I'm able to beat a record in my house."
[George Shea, Chairman of Major League Eating]:
"The world champion is crowned in Coney Island since 1916 and forever, it will always be."
Also crowned in Coney Island this year: the first champion of the new women's category.
Sonya "Black Widow" Thomas, who enjoyed the sweet taste of victory. She ate a Women's world record—40 hotdogs in just 10 minutes.
Once again Jey Chestnut proves you are what you eat, and he is a wiener! Sorry I misspoke, a winner!
