OT: More hot dogs

[sledog]

Joey downed a record 75 dogs in 10 min at the Nathan's Coney Island contest over the 4th. Now a study proposes the thoretical limit is 84!

How do you practice for this event. Woof down wieners all year in preparation?

 

[uconnyankee]

Not a fan of Nathan’s....
Great marketing campaign though.

And if you eat the most, but vomit right after, you lose. It's called "a reversal of fortune."

 

[sledog]

Amazing that someone is actually studing / researchin this. Must be quite a visit to the crapper later.

 

[Mr. French]

if Joey ate 75 and the theoretical limit is 84, I view that as a challenge.

 

[Kitaman]

Two is my limit, even if starving.

 

[Scot-e]

My favorite food - but the thought of eating more then two is not pleasant.

 

[Waquoit]

Two is my limit, even if starving.

After 3, I swear you can feel the nitrites.

 

[McLovin]

Happy National Hot Dog Day, hope everyone in the yard enjoys themselves a wiener today!

 

[Palatine]

It doesn't seem like healthy activity.

Two is my limit, even if starving.

I can do three, most I ever ate at one sitting is 4. Also wondering if the 50 or so hotdogs they eat are skinless or with skins on?

 

[jibsey]

Those Nathans are small dogs.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Nancy boys.

I eat 10 just to have something to do between beers.

Favorite? I assume you know how they're made, no need to google if you don't. I always knew but never saw the process. I just did and couldn't finish the video. Its summertime, and I've still got a few dozen in the freezer awaiting the grill. Anyway I will always eat them regardless. And at cookouts who cares?

But no more researching for me. Somethings are best to remain ignorant about, and hotdogs are numero uno, only because they taste so good. I've noticed though that the last few years I've been buying more kosher dogs.

Had two Boar's Head beef franks for lunch today.

I'll take kielbasa over a frank any day of the week. Not the Hillshire Farms stuff but fresh or smoked. Make me want to go to the Polish stire to get some.

I probably use local kielbasa for my breakfast meat as often as bacon these days.

Also, Smith's, which is a local dog producer, recently started selling jumbo dogs, 4 to a pack. I'd taken to eating dogs in tortillas as I've been looking at bun/meat ratio and carb intake. These jumbo dogs are the perfect ratio for a bun.
