I once thought Kobayashi was the greatest with 6 titles, but Chestnut has surpassed him.

I bet Andy could give him a run for his title if they were using Martinsville hot dogs.

Every year I still wonder, why the hell is this such a big friggin deal? Seriously, this has got to be among the dumbest competitions in existence.

That's probably 3x more hot dogs than I eat in a year.

LOL! I remember watching part of one of those contests a few years ago. Before it started, they showed a promo video and one of the contestants was like "I'm a professional athlete, and eating is my sport." And then I heard Paul Page of all people on commentary!
