Kobayashi edges Chestnut in hot dog contest

Yes, this is an actual headline on ESPN.com. For those of you wondering whatever became of my long lost cat, apparently she has turned up on Coney Island. Here is a picture of little Chestnut devouring a hot dog during the contest.

I thought the description of Chestnut was a bit inaccurate, though:

“…Chestnut, a 220-pound civil engineering student from San Jose, Calif., who set an American record by eating 50 hot dogs during a qualifying tournament in Las Vegas.”

She must be incognito or something. I’m pretty impressed about her setting the American record, though. I mean, 50 hot dogs. That’s a lot. I didn’t even know she ate hot dogs.

I remember being in a hot dog eating contest at a Phillies game once. It was “Dollar Dog Day” and a few of my friends and I decided to have an informal contest. I remember eating 6 hot dogs and winning the competition. My friend Josh declared me the wiener. Get it? hehe.
