Nathan’s Hot Dogs at the Nat: Kobayashi. Chestnut. Bishop?
Posted by: buzz in buzz, events, food, sports, vancouverEvery year on the 4th of July, Nathan’s Famous on Coney Island, NY hosts the World Hot Dog Eating Champioships. 12 minutes of gluttony that was routinely pwned by a pint size Japanese fellow named Kobayashi.
In 2007, Joey Chestnut unseeded the great Kobayashi. This past summer, Kobayashi came back to reclaim his crown and the battle was a dead heat.
Tonight, at Nat Bailey Stadium, the Vancouver Candians host Boise and a little bit of Coney Island. It’s the 1st Annual Nathan’s Hot-Dog-A-Thon at the Nat. A bunch of “celebs,” a bunch of dogs, and 6 minutes to get ‘em down without any coming back up.
I’ve studied the tape and technique of Kobayashi and Chestnut, I’ve been stretching my stomach all weekend. I am prepared to do battle. Sooooo .. how many do you think I can get down, and keep down?
The boys can kick back about 60 in 12 minutes, I’ll stick my over/under at 8 in 6 minutes.
The battle goes at 630p just outside Nat Bailey Stadium, I’ll see you there!
