Serious Eats was contacted by a PR agency to see if we had any interest in attending the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. I've watched it on ESPN and have also watched MTV's True Life, "I'm a Competitive Eater" and thought it sounded like fun. I'm not sure that the 95 degree weather with 90% humidity will be fun though.
Anyways, I responded to the agency, and lo and behold this is what arrived today. The Pepto Bismol was just a nice extra I guess. They know me all too well. This weekend will probably need an antacid of some type.
So, check out the contest this Sunday. ESPN will begin broadcasting at 11:00 a.m. EST. You may just see me up there, trying to beat Joey Chestnut's 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
I love Nathan's hot dogs! They are the best store bought hot dogs around. We'll be rooting for ya!
ReplyDeleteHaha, the Pepto was a classy touch!
