I don't understand how these guys eat so many hot dogs.I am a hefty eater and can eat maybe 6 or 7.Where do they put it.Even dunking them in water doesn't seem to help me.

And I have learned that it helps to be thin. Easier for the stomach to expand when it doesn't have to push against a thick layer of fat. Which is why you never see any of the big fat dudes win competitions like that.

Not to mention they toss up big time after and during the event. It's fairly disgusting to watch.

ESPN is reporting that 66 HDBs (hot dogs and buns) is an astonishing 12,540 calories! Mr. Chestnut ate one hotdog every 10.9 secs and consumed 1,045 cal/min!

I am glad he won! The Asian kid has Arthritis in his jaw and was in pain! Just a risk if being in eating contests. Not sure if you heard that.His doc said not to compete but he did. Supposedly he could only open his month about a finger size.

I'm not a fat guy,just a real hungry one.I am hungry all the time.I won a dinner last month for eating a 5 pound steak,(fat and all)and I was still able to eat dessert.But for hot dogs I can only shovel down 6 or 7.Weird.
