Honestly, I've never understood the concept behind Food Eating Contests. Quite frankly, I think it's rather dumb to shove food down your throat in such a rapid manner. It's looks disgusting, and it's downright nasty. Then again, this is just my opinion, so don't get offended if you're the current reigning hot dog champ. If you've never seen the contest, you can catch it every year on ESPN or in person in Coney Island in New York.
From 2001 to 2006, Japanese, Takeru Kobayashi was the champion of Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, until American, Joey Chestnut, the current winner, took his title away, and he's not about to relinquish it anytime soon. This is also the first year, women were allowed to compete in their own separate event. Yesterday, Joey ate 62 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. How does he do it, and how is it possible to consume that much food in such a short period of time?
Well..... ESPN has broken it down for us, and this is how it works...
