94th Annual Nathan's International Hot Dog Eating Contest is Tomorrow (Sat, July 4th)

So as a disclaimer, this next post is totally not veg./vegan friendly, but it's so bizarre that I couldn't resist:

In case you are still looking for something to do tomorrow, you might consider checking out the 94th annual Nathan's International Hot Dog Eating Contest down in Coney Island, Brooklyn. It's going to be a very close match between defending world champion, Joey Chestnut, and former world champion, Takeru Kobayash. I predict that Kobayash will not only regain his title in tomorrow's showdown, but and will also break the all time high of 59 dogs in 10 minutes.
