The Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest is crazier than bat shit.
Not only does it slash open the raw underbelly of all that is wrong with America with its focus on simultaneous gluttony, greed and competition, for a while America couldn't win it!
Takeru "Tsunami" Kobayashi of Japan won it six years running.
Take that, America!
But not so fast, Japan.
In 2007, America reclaimed its rightful throne when California native Joey Chestnut broke through the hot-dog-eating sound barrier to chow down 66 dogs in 12 minutes, setting a new world record.
Someone keeps track of this, you ask?
That's 66 dogs with buns, thank you very much.
Chestnut is also apparently a long-time favorite in the Waffle House World Waffle Eating Championship AND the Wing Bowl, proving that yes, Virginia. There really are people that white trash. Pure bat shit.
