Needless to say there is much coverage of Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest . You probably can’t beat the Brooklyn Paper’s bite by bite coverage. Here’s an excerpt:
“Joey Chestnut, the greatest eater in modern history and, perhaps of all time, outdid even himself on July 4 at Coney Island, tying former six-time world champ Takeru Kobayashi with 59 hot dogs and buns in the 10-minute contest — and then shoving down five more HDBs in an unprecedented one-on-one stuff-your-faceoff to beat Kobayashi by mere seconds.”
