July 4th weekend is upon us and you know what that means...the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest! I know, for someone who has a problem with people who eat both hamburger and hot dog at a BBQ you'd think that I also detest people who compete in a national competition to scarf down hot dogs, but I don't, I love it. It's like a car accident, you know you don't want to watch but you just can't help it.
Last year, Chestnut beat Kobayashi, a big disappointment in my eyes. I really expected that little guy to be able to take em down, I don't know why considering he probably weighs under 150 lbs. This year, Kobayashi declared he won't be competing in the contest, but I'll believe it when I see it.
If you have no interest in watching people clog their arteries, than the Nathan's Contest is not for you. I hope everyone has a lovely 4th of July weekend, I know I will as my best friend is getting married!! And by the way, if you do want to eat a hamburger and a hot dog at your BBQ this weekend, don't let me stop you, after all, I am essentially promoting a contest where people eat so much they might throw up in your face on national TV! So really, what do I know?
