Nothing like a celebration of gluttony...
70-1/2 hotdogs with buns adds up to 20,938.5 calories.

He could have coasted being 20+ dogs ahead, maybe he was hungry.

Might have upset his stomach.

Only in America!

No beer to wash them down?

I STILL think they should be required to eat a hot dog the way is it supposed to be eaten with the hot dog in the bun, condiments or not would be their choice.

My record is 6.

Guess I have some training to do!

The 4th is the one day I won't eat a hotdog.

The 4th is the one day I won't eat a hotdog.

We had them yesterday. I grilled them. I was only 68 and 1/2 short of the winning score at Coney Island.

If I have the opportunity to grill hotdogs, which is rare because my wife thinks for some reason they are unhealthy, I get some sausages to grill.

In short, a good sausage makes for a better hotdog.

(Unfortunately, my wife thinks sausages are unhealthy, too...)

I very very rarely eat hotdogs, but I do like a couple nice hot Italian sausages with my pasta.

17.5 lbs of cherry pie in 8 minutes....

Can you imagine being Joey's parents when he was a kid? Mom calls out, "Dinner!"

By the time dad sits down, he looks at the table and says, "Uh, where's the food?"

Joey says, "More Park Sausages, Mom!"

He is self employed.

Got to be hard on a person's system. Certainly a bright person wouldn't try this-

I was watching this disgusting contest the other day at my friend's house. Hebrew Nationals taste better, but yesterday at the store I found spicy hot Nathans. I'll give them a shot today or tomorrow, as I've never seen these around here. As stated above, they should eat them the normal way, on a bun but with two condiments. Also, aren't we supposed to chew our food at least 23 times before swallowing? I wonder if he's banned from the buffet places like Golden Corral or some of those Asian buffets?
