Hot Dog Eating Contest Instant Replay?
by Last year I had a story on this same hot dog eating contest. This year the supposed winner, who ate 50 1/2 hotdogs in 12 minutes was accused of regurgiting during the contest which renders instant disqualification. Read the full story here. Here is what a few people had to say about it:
If you suffer a roman-method incident (the IFOCE's term for regurgitating) during the contest, it's an immediate DQ," - brother of league president
He should be disqualified, period, Eric (Eric Booker, who finished second with 26)should have that belt. I mean, I had people in Atlanta call me on my cell phone saying they saw it on TV." - "Hungry" Charles Hardy, 5-foot-11, 360-pound New York City corrections officer who ate 20 hot dogs.
"I hope to eat one for every state in the union" - Eric Booker, a 6-foot-5, 400-pound contestant
"I was standing right next to him, but I was too focused on my game. I didn't want to suffer the mistakes I had last year, where I was looking around to see what everyone was doing. It was just me and the dogs." - Eric Booker
"It's the Raiders-Patriots game all over again," - Rich Shea, president of the IFOCE.
These (American) guys last year were yelling and screaming drugs, drugs, drugs. I was with him all morning, and I've seen no evidence of it. As the international federation, it would be our duty to bring drug testing into this sport, but there's just no evidence." - Rich Shea, noting that contestants accused Kobayashi of using muscle relaxers to enhance his performance.

lol cheating on a hot dog eating contest... so sad BWAHAHAHA
ewww.. i hate hotdogs. i think they are soooo disguisting. I would have thrown up after the first one.
50 hotdogs in 12 min...i cant even contemplate that...
ya know, you would think that these guys have something better to do... like how do you prepare for a hot dog eating contest.. are you like, "honey, FIRE up that ole grill and keep 'em coming till i puke".. i mean seriously... and the guy in there said that it was a sport. Eating isnt a sport... never was and never will be.
really mike? i thought it was your favorite one!
thats funny rae... least i dont EAT like one of these guys... you could clear a table before any of these guys could get a hold of a fork....
haha, i know that's why i posted this. they're acting like gluttony is a sport
truly a disgusting story
I feel like hurling every time I hear about one of these things... Food Network had a show last week about this place in PA that makes 2, 3 and 6 lb burgers and runs eating contests... the 6 pounders look dis-gus-ting
ew, that is revolting.
arghh ewwww ohhhhhh ahhhhhh laaaaa looooo haaa sooooooooo pooooooooooo dooooooooo mooooooooooooooo cooooooooooo woooooooo
a 6'5'' 400 pound man. thats just incorrect.
gross replusive chunktified nasteyness
ball park hot dogs are so good. I love them. They plump when you cook them . Ummm tastey treats.
my fave are sabrette with natural casing. like the ones you get at those hot dog stands built into the back of a jeep.
but there is nothing natural about them.. they take like grade Z meat and squish it together and sell them for a bizzilion dollars
I went to Pathmark this morning and they have Hebrew Nationals on sale... a 2 lb pack for like 3.99. I WAS going to get a pack of Nathans, but they were 25 cents more for a one pound pack... Had a couple of franks for breakfast (I guess it's really a 9:30 am dinner?) They were soooo good
fascinating.
cheap so-and-so!
Ball Parks are clearly the best. Please. If you dont think they are you have no idea what a hot dog is... we should have our own hot dog eating contest.. i could polish off about 4 or 5 in 12 minutes. maybe even 10
Ball Parks are okay, but I think Nathan's rock big time... these Hebrew Nationals are up there too, but the best ALL TIME frank I ever had was at Bethel. We went up there to visit some friend 2 years ago and I was all psyched for my first Bethel meal... and they served hot dogs. But once they came, oh mama... so big and awesome... I think I had 3 of them...
Yankee Stadium hot dogs.
yeah, baseball game hotdogs are usually good. i think it's mainly just that you get really hungry from sitting out there for hours on end waiting for somebody to hit a ball.
hot dogs, especially the ones from baseball games, are made from the worst crap. they're basically donkey balls and chicken beaks ground up and shoved into a plastic like membrane. hot dogs have been found in tact in landfills after sitting there for over 75 years. they don't decompose!
do they shoot hot dogs out a hot dog shooter at yankee's games? they do that at every pittsburgh game, i've yet to get one!!
Hmm I dont care. if it taste like a hot dog, and smells like a hot dog . it's a hot dog.
but then you have to question, WHAT is a hot dog...? i mean.. it could be sewage from the local corrections facility... alll packed together to form the "dog"....
jerk!.. you stole that from ME!!! i TOLD you about that!
hey... you said donkey balls. i said chicken beaks.
oh please, its one in the same...
how'd they know they were 75 yrs old? was there a born-on date?
they used carbon dating. i don't know! their scientists man. they know these things
i like the costco dogs...
i always think of the sabret ads in yankee stadium when they're like sabrett we are on a roll.
Someone told me that kid had 2 stomachs...almost like a cow.....i guess....nevermind....
you believed 'em ? Actually i was watching a whole " special " on this. And they train for like a week straight beforehand drinking all liquids and lots of it to expand the stomach. and then they just go at it.
