Sixty-six.
That's Joey Chestnut's world record for most hot dogs eaten in 12 minutes. I hope to eat 1/3 of that tomorrow.
As the reigning two-time Taste of Colorado ice-cream eating champion, I can eat cold food fast. But Hot dogs are another matter. Tomorrow I foray into the world of competitive eating with my first hot-dog-eating contest. The last winner of this local competition had 16.
I don't know if I'll win, but I want to make a good showing. I figure if I can eat a hot dog every 30 seconds, I could do 24 — hopefully.
That's a total of 6,000 calories in 12 minutes. Or three days worth of food.
I don't know how much I can eat, but I want a respectable showing. Apparently one of the competitors is ranked No. 20 in the world according to the International Federation of Competitive Eaters.
If I eat 24, I'm trying for the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.
