“There have been lots of conversations on what we should be doing, whether we should have a pea eating contest, whether it should be a vegetarian contest, whether it should be a fruit eating contest, whether we should eat something else. Those have never gotten any traction for the simple reason that the hot dog contest is the hot dog contest.”

STORYLINE:
New York’s favorite processed meat has long been a prominent emblem.

Fascination with the city’s iconic street food culminates in a Nathan’s hot dog eating contest at Coney Island every Fourth of July.

This year, longtime champion Joey Chestnut may not be in the running after signing with a plant-based hot dog brand and Nathan’s rival.

Some relished in that news.
