The July Fourth fireworks began early last month when Major League Eating announced that Joey “Jaws” Chestnut would not defend his Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest title. Chestnut, who has won the event 16 times, is billed by Major League Eating as “the greatest eater in history,” but the world’s fastest will likely be fasting instead of feasting this Fourth of July.
The eating contest categories usually showcase products that are local to that place and in abundance, or that bear some strong connection to the community. And they have been held across the country for many decades. People compete because that’s their nature. We like to see how we measure up against others — in lots of different ways. Or at least some of us do. Is it sophisticated? Maybe not. But our entertainment need not always be high-brow. We love our boxing and pro wrestling.
