"The front of my shirt was soaked from the water I’d been shoving the tacos into for lubrication, and it clung to my chest and distended belly as I staggered off the porch with little more than the plaque and an internal swirling of 'Don’t puke. Just keep it down.'" —Cameron Maynard for Texas Monthly

Texas Monthly · I Spent Three Years Inhaling Tacos and Corn Dogs in Eating Contests. Here’s Why I Stopped.After three years and six competitions, which I mostly lost, I realized eating contests weren’t as fulfilling as I’d hoped they would be.

The Japan Times · Netflix to air 'ultimate' hot dog eating contestBy The Japan Times
Continued thread

Most voters in this poll got this wrong — and why would they be able to choose between a seemingly random series of stomach-churningly high hot dog numbers? While most said Joey Chestnut could eat 103 hot dogs in 10 minutes, his record, set in 2021, is actually a very manageable 76. He won't be at the Coney Island contest on July 4 to defend his title, but fear not, Joey fans: Your favorite competitive eater will be squaring off against rival Takeru Kobayashi, live on Netflix on Sept. 2, in "Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef." We can hardly wait. 🤢

The Japan Times · Champion hot dog eater excluded from New York contest over veggie franksBy Steve Gorman

Joey Chestnut is looking for his 16th victory in Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island (the contest is currently delayed due to lightning in the area). Last year, the champion eater put away 63 hot dogs and buns, falling short of his own record of 76. Here's a look at how all those wieners might affect a competitor's health.
