Hot Dog!

They had a hot dog eating contest in Phoenix, AZ and a California man won in twelve minutes. He smashed the world record for hotdog eating by gobbling up more than 59 franks in 12 minutes. It was Joey Chestnut, age 23, of San Jose, who shattered the record held by Takeru Kobayashi (easy for them to say) of Japan. He downed 59 1/2 hot dogs and buns at the southwest regional Hot Dog Eating champsionship at the Arizona Mills Mall in suburban Tempe. The old record was 53 1/2 set last year at a contest held at coney Island in New York. Pepto Bismol anyone???
