I'd think not. I mean, why would you want some guy winning who literally works for a would-be competitor? I thought they went over the top quite a ways in their press release honestly, since you know they pretty much have to be hoping he chokes to death asap.

The Joey Chestnut news is probably the least important "breaking news" item I've ever received as a push notification. And that includes anything royalty-related. I can't think of a piece of news that matters much less. I actually laughed when I saw it pop up on my phone yesterday.

What?!? This is like Michael Jordan being banned from the NBA Finals. Wayne Gretzky being banned from the Stanley Cup finals. Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady being banned right before the Super Bowl. But more so! On the one hand, the rule - that he can't participate in the marquee Major League Eating event because he's repping a different brand - is ridiculous. On the other hand, he knew the rule and quite brazenly broke it! If Joey Chestnut bigger than Major League Eating? Or can the League survive without their biggest star? This. Is. Huge.

You got it. This has basically turned Nathan's 4th of July hot dog eating contest into a non-event. #BoycottMajorLeagueEating

To paraphrase one of the immortal FOFC quotes, this is going to revolutionize the way I don't watch The July 4th Hot Dog Eating Contest and MLE in general.

I was at an oyster fest once, and they happened to have a MLE (or whatever it was called back then--it was a while ago) oyster eating event there. They were all professionals, but you could put your name in the hat and try and get one of the two amateur spots. And I really really wanted that. Not because I wanted to try and keep up. But because it would have been awesome to have all I could eat oysters for 8 minutes. I'd smuggle up my own bottle of Tabasco--and they'd say I was disqualified, and I wouldn't care and keep eating.

Plant based hot dogs? Are the disgusting parts of plants that we can speculate are in plant based hot dogs in the way we could with a regular hot dog? Is there such a thing as a dirty water plant based hot dog?
Nothing against plant based foods but one of the joys of eating a hot dog was always the fleeting idea that it might just have something in it that you did not want to know about.

Yeah, come to think of it, what are the plant-based equivalents to chicken lips and assholes?

I guess I'm wondering why Nathan's wasn't paying him. Since I'm not in New York, I only know of Nathan's through the hot dog eating contest.

I just mean I've never heard the brand uttered outside the event. It's probably available here but Oscar-Meyer and a few others have the market cornered at the store it seems. Guess what I'm saying is that hot dog eating contest might be how a lot of people know about the brand. |

Nathan's are good hotdogs. Too pricey, but good.

Definitely. But the occasional BOGO at Publix helps a few times a year.
