My money is on Howard finally breaking through Joey Chestnut's record at the Nathan's hot dog eating contest today.

I want to see a hot dog contest held in cool dry weather, like early November or something.
If I was a competitive eater, I think I'd be able to wolf down more food if the weather wasn't hot and humid.
They can't run any food sprints at Taco Bell. All the contestants would be disqualified for competing under wind assisted conditions.

Howard finally breaking through
No hot dogs for this family. Burgers with a pasta salad out on the 3-season porch for us. 2 burgers, 6.5 ounces each, a full helping of the salad, and a Post Shift lager from Jack's Abbey was more than enough to fill me. A nice family dinner for the 4th.

There's no way Joey Chestnut could match that meal, Howard. Congrats for the being the tru champion today

Anyone trying to derail the Joey Chestnut express during today's annual Hot Dog Eating Contest should expect to choke.
