From the July 4, 2014, Chicago Tribune "Warriors of mass digestion".
I have to admit that the headline was one clever one. None of that "Weapons of Mass Destruction" for us.
And, this stuff has gotten very organized. People vying to get into the record books for eating huge amounts of stuff have the organizations called Major League Eating and the International Federation of Competitive Eating to oversee them and make sure every things is on the down swallow.
These groups oversee some 80 professional contests every year, the most famous being the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog eating one held every July 4th in front of the place at Coney Island in New York City.
We watched it Friday at Antonio's in Spring Grove after the parade and almost got sick doing so. Yuck!! and what a waste of good Nathan's hot dogs. Plus, I am amazed that no one puked eating stuff like that. I would prefer to savor mine if I ever get the chance to eat one at that historic place. I have had some Nathan's Hot Dogs, but not there.
