Hot Dogs on Independence Day
This weekend, don't miss Nathan's Hot Dog-Eating Contest, held in Coney Island on July 4. This year will be a great one -- Joey Chestnut is looking for a three-peat but his arch-rival Takeru Kobayashi wants revenge. You see, last year they tied at 59 hot dogs in 10 minutes, but Chestnut eked out a victory in overtime.
Coverage begins on ESPN at Noon. Something that won't be covered live is a new contest:
"... Coney Island is holding another competitive eating contest, but with two major differences: it's just the hot dog buns, and a team of three humans will take on three elephants from Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, reports the Brooklyn Paper. The odds may be in the elephant's favor in terms of stomach space, but they also might not understand the term "Go!"" (From Serious Eats)
