To Dip Or Not To Dip, That Is The Question
Have you ever watched the annual Hot Dog Eating Contest from Coney Island, New York (July 4th)? Okay, for those that haven’t here’s a quick look for you. Pay attention to the method of stuffing the dogs in the contestant’s pie-holes.
Notice how they dip the hot dogs in water? It makes them easier to swallow (we’re told), even though the thought of water-logged buns around a dog disgusts me almost as much as watching these folks in the first place. Anyway, I give you that background to present to you the case of Nicolas Heller. @newyorknico on Instagram has become somewhat of a viral sensation for this video of him while recently taking in a New York Yankees game.
I love beer. I love hot dogs. That being said, this is not a chocolate and peanut butter situation. Just because you have two great tastes doesn’t mean they should be tasted together. Am I right? I mean, this guy’s a savage for eating this way. Or am I way off and Nicolas is a groundbreaker in terms of hot dog consumption? Your thoughts?
