Although not as a participant (I can't scarf down 30 hot dogs and buns and water), I attended the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on the Brooklyn Bridge at the New York New York Hotel and Casino as an observer. You won't see me on tv or anything, but you will see a glimpse of what I saw in-person today via photos.
The woman with the trophy won with 28 hot dogs and the older gentleman on the left won with 30. They are headed to New York City on July 4 for the main event.
