First Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest (1916, 1972)

Once there was a dog, and it was hot. Then, there were more of these hot dogs, and they were pursued by insatiable eating machines that sought only their delicious destruction in horrifying numbers.

That's right, we're talking about the origins of Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest! Plus, the MouthGarf Report and I See What You Did There! Sources:https://nathansfranks.sfdbrands.com/en-us/articles/hot-dog-eating-contest/hdec-fun-facts/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66101244https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan%27s_Hot_Dog_Eating_ContestPlease give us a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts! Want to ask us a question?
