Nathan's annual Hot Dog turn-off contest

After watching this for just a minute or two, it's unlikely that I will eat another hot dog within the next 6 or 8 months.

But ignoring my disgust for a moment, how do they do it? Consume 60+ hot dogs in 10 minutes? That's one hotdog ever 10 seconds. All together, about 18 POUNDS of food in 10 minutes.

That's an impossible feat, probably made possible by some digestive altering trickery. And that makes it even more disgusting.

Makes you wonder what Joey Chestnut's arteries look like.

Maybe he gets his stomach pumped as soon as he gets offstage.

@Thinkerbell They destroy the toilets for the next 2 days. Don't go near them

They are freaks in that theit stomachs can temporily expand so much. Often they are normal sized people

I used to see Kobayoshi at a gig a few hours after each win

Or maybe it's a trick and what we don't see is the colostomy or fecal collection bag and it all just passes right through them. And before the contest they prepare themselves as if they were preparing for a colonoscopy.

@Heartlander That could be true. But ESPN is so shameless they'd make the prep show a pay per view!
