the best part about 4th of July

is walking down stairs and seeing this on your tv screen:



yup that's right, the Nathan's World Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.  It is televised on ESPN every single 4th of July. This year had to be the most exciting. They only had 10 minutes to eat as many hot dogs as possible (where in previous years they had 12 minutes). The winner 2 years ago was Takeru Kobayashi (aka The Tsunami; who had won in the previous like 6 years). Last year, Joey Chestnut was the winner with 66 hot dogs. So like i said, they only had 10 minutes to eat as many hot dogs as possible. It was super exciting! It turned out to be that both dudes ate 59 hot dogs. So that meant a tie. It was called for a "Five Dog Eat Off." whoever ate five hot dogs the fastest, would be the winner. It was very intense. So, the defending champion Joey Chestnut won. 

How about that for a 4th of July celebration with your family?!
