Fascinating.

The contest is tomorrow: Baseball, hot dogs...

I think the thing that surprises me most is their diet when not in competition. I suppose it's necessary given what they put in during a competition. I don't really understand how you get into something like this, but I can respect the work and dedication it takes to have a career as a competitive eater.

Speaking of NY Coney though, came across this article about a possible resurrection of the area. Curious about your thoughts on the area, if you think it is returning to what it once was, or losing it's identity even more than it has. Definitely a bucket list place I want to get to someday.
