How the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest Became a Worldwide Event | Eater
"The annual Fourth of July hot-dog eating competition pits top competitive eaters onstage to see who can consume the most hot dogs in ten minutes, drawing enormous crowds—about 50,000 people pack the corner of Surf and Stillwell each summer—to witness what participants and fans regard as a pop-culture event; it is televised globally on ESPN, spawned a 30 for 30 installment, and is famously called “my Super Bowl” by reigning champion Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, who is currently ranked No. 1 by Major League Eating." - Eater Video
