With a combination of steely grit, limber swallowing abilities and highly expandable stomachs, contestants in the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest take on competitors to the delight of throngs of screaming fans every year. A select group of skilled eaters convenes at high noon, eating Nathan's dogs for 10 minutes straight, stopping for nothing—not ketchup, not mustard or even a French fry. Don't miss this year's competition, which continues a tradition established in 1916. For more information, visit nathansfamous.com.
