Reigning champion Joey Chestnut eats two hot dogs at a time during the
men's competition of the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating
contest, Wednesday, July 4, 2018, in New York's Coney Island. The
defending champion broke his own world record by eating 74 hot dogs in
10 minutes. (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer)
NEW YORK €” Joey "Jaws" Chestnut extended his reign as champion eater at
the Nathan's Famous July Fourth hot dog eating contest Wednesday,
downing a record 74 wieners and buns in 10 minutes to take home the
coveted Mustard Belt for an 11th time.

Miki Sudo held onto her title as the top woman's competitor at the
annual Brooklyn eat-off, chomping 37 franks and buns to take home the
top prize for an unprecedented fifth consecutive year.

I wonder if he learned how to do that from watching Guy Fieri testing
sandwiches on Triple D.

Believe me when I say this is not representative of the United States.
It's a weird group of people who think competitive eating for money
makes some sort of sense.

This sort of competition happens everywhere in the western world it
seems. I saw a lobster eating one once. Equally disgusting.

That's an interesting technique they're using. I'm more an old school kind of guy. This allows me to eat half a dog. I don't believe that I could eat a whole one. What would be more fun would be a hot dog eating contest with guys that have a hard time eating hot dogs.

When the TV show Man vs Food was on, Adam Richman traveled the country
and took the challenge that various eateries had. Most required you eat
4 to 5 pounds of food in about an hour. I cannot imagine consuming that
much food in a day, let alone an hour. I don't get it at all.

That's true. Some Japanese compete even that contest.

That said, Jill was wrong about this contest not being
representative of the US. This particular contest is all USA.
Held each year on the 4th of July at Coney Island in NYC. Doesn't
get any more USA than that.

No need to diss it though. It's pure entertainment, no
educational value.

Still, I would NEVER believe that someone could eat 74 hotdogs
and buns in only 10 minutes. That's insane. I doubt I could even
eat 8 dogs and buns in an hour. 74 in 10 minutes? Seeing is
believing.

No doubt.
Yoose should become emperor of Earth. Yoose could tell everyone
how and what to eat. Yoose could save the Earth, imo. Then only
Sheldon would argue with yoose.

This gal made her bones on Youtube cooking and eating large quantities of food. OTOH, she pretty much cheats on the amount of food she's eating.

I remember driving through Texas and seeing signs along the road that
say Finish Our Seventy Eight Ounce Steak in an Hour and It's Free.
This was in the '60s, I don't kno if those ssigns ae still there... I
never did stop.
When I was a kid Sid's Lunceonette advertized a Belly Buster, a 48
ounce egg cream, finish one in 30 minutes and it's free. Then there
was Jahn's ice cream parlor, if you could finish their Kitchen Sink it
was free.

The size of the diners are beginning to catch up to the size of the steak. They're probably have to go with an 84 oz steak.

I'm guessing that she is small of frame. The pan is situated in the foreground which tends to exaggerate the amount of the food in the pan. Such is the nature of these videos. OTOH, it's still a whole lotta food.

On a happier note, here's what I made for my wife to eat at work tonight. It's a box lunch. Lemongrass chicken. It's got some heat to it! It has sugar added to enhance that charring. I love cooking this way. The chicken was done in less than 3 minutes over high heat. That's a small container so not to worry about over eating!

You made that? Nicely done!
Could you maybe describe the two separate stirfrys on each side
of the rice? I'm not asking for an exact recipe, just an idea of
the ingredients. The two different tastes.

And now for my wiseguy question: Do y'all eat that with a pair of
sticks or fork&spoon?

I'd eat it with whatever I had to hand. I keep a knife, fork, and
spoon in the pencil cup on my desk. The last time I used chopsticks
was in a Korean restaurant. That's what they provided on the table,
so that's what I used.

You really are obsessed about chopsticks, aren't you?

Not me. Seems like the rest of the western world is obsessed with
them when eating Asian food. And only when eating Asian food. I
don't get it. I'd rather eat with my hands than with a couple of
sticks! lolol

Do you still ride a horse to work?

> Who needs chopsticks for cheeseburgers and coca cola?


If you are after me, remember I don't eat cheesburgers and don't
drink soda. I also don't eat spider eggs.

They're tools. Are there painting tools that you refuse to use?

You have not demonstrated that forks are technologically superior
to chopsticks. You have only demonstrated that you are uncomfortable
learning new things.

Yes...and they are obsolete and no longer used.

I learned how to eat with chopsticks when married. What a waste.
Just because I can use them doesn't mean I would choose them
ever. Silly old-timey utensils, imo.

Ever watch Asians eat with them? Most of that eating is bad
manners, imo. Japanese holding up bowls of noodles and slurping
them loudly comes to mind. And the loud slurping is considered
good manners. Go figure.

Each to their own nonsense. Just not 'me too'.

Manners are cultural. George Bernard Shaw put it best:

€śBRITANNUS (shocked).
Caesar: this is not proper.

THEODOTUS (outraged).
How!

CAESAR (recovering his self-possession).
Pardon him. Theodotus: he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.€ť
