Registration For Hot Dog Eating Contest Is Closed

Or maybe it was from the time I originally posted, I’m not sure. According to the initial info I received from a PR person, the Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Championship, Nathan’s and Sam’s Club were “looking to see if someone in the Dallas area can top that [last year's record] in 2008…. we’re inviting everyone to try out”.  Apparently a lot of peeps got peeved when they could NOT register because the event was closed to new registrants. What. Ever. Do not get me started. Anywhoo, the show, and it will be a show, will go on from 11am to 1pm on Saturday, June 21 at Sam’s Club in Plano (1200 E. Spring Creek Parkway). They’re flying in “top eaters” Jason “The Erbivore” Erb and “Nasty Nathan” Biller for the event. If any of you managed a spot in the pig out, let me know. I’m gonna be there with a wide-angle lens and wearing my Nathan’s cap.
