Nathan’s Famous makes an annual donation of 100,000 Nathan’s Famous hot dogs to the Food Bank for New York City prior to the event.

 plus so wasteful... disgusting and revolting.

It doesn't bother me. But I have never seen the competition. This is his line of work. He travels all over to do this, he has endorsements, and he has a specific workout routine. He makes millions and donates to charities, including military veteran organizations. 

Years ago didn't they have pie eating contests?

I agree.  It is a gluttonous and unhealthy display of senselessness.

I saw they also did it with pizza. The record is 10 and a half slices in 10 minutes. This years winner ate 9 slices in 10 minutes!

A pizza eating contest? Now that's something I could get behind....yum!

I think I remember the pie one.  IIRC, it was who could eat that ONE pie the fastest, and with their hands tied behind their backs.

The hot dog one truly is vile.  It's about HOW MANY  hot dogs they can shove down in the given amount of time.

Like others, I always thought that it was not only gross but so wasteful.  I wonder if they do stuff like this in other countries or is it just here where we seem to corner the market on both stupid and obesity.

Sometimes I wonder if people from other countries think Americans are crazy.

Apparently, being an attraction is more important than good health!  Hopefully, he'll learn.
