competitive eating rules!
early this afternoon i stopped by schnack in brooklyn to watch the hot dog eating contest. how fast could someone eat one of the 30" dogs (with bun)? one minute thirty seconds.

borough president marty markowitz stopped by.

alex waited in line for a free hot dog (not the 30" stahl-meyer dog, though).

when those dogs came out, there was an audible gasp among the crowd. the competition dogs put your middle school footlongs to shame.

and then the eating began (no splitting up of bun and dog allowed).



apparently, there is only so much a person can eat before starting to feel sick and questioning his motives.


marty congratulates joe, the winner.
