When you say Extreme Eating Contests, most people envision Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, held each4th of July at Coney Island, in Brooklyn, New York. ESPN broadcasts this and Joey Chestnut has captured the title six times, most recently by eating 68 hotdogs, buns and all in 12 minutes.
While Dayton hasn’t gotten quite that extreme, we do have our share of eating contests that exist. There’s the E-I-E-I-O challenge from OinkADoodleMoo:
