66 hot dogs

Today was the annual Nathan's International July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Contest. The winner (Joey Chestnut) ate 66 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes. Sixty six! That is more than 5 a minute and over 12,000 calories. Believe me, there have been times when I have eaten what some would consider a bit too much food at one sitting, but 66 hot dogs! That amazes me. Where in the world does a pile of food that big go to? The winner gets $10,000 and a very bad case of indigestion.
