Travelers of the world tend to love to try local cuisine, but I'm not sure if they're ready to try these black hot dogs in Japan!
I'm not talking black as in burnt, I mean the color of the hot dog is black, it's died with a bamboo charcoal powder...
Yesterday was the 97th annual Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest, held on the Fourth of July in Coney Island. Joey Chestnut managed to not only win the championship title for the seventh straight year, he also set a new world record by eating 69 hot dogs in just ten minutes.
In this cute video, made by comedian Kevin Maher, little kids attempt to undertake a Nathan's-style hot dog eating contest in Coney Island. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), things don't go so well.
Admit it, you’ve watched the Nathan’s Hot Dog eating contest every Independence Day and said, “I could compete with these guys.” Really? Maybe it’s time to put up or shut up.
